Holding a Friend Accountable for Not Achieving Their Goals

Hi BP,

Recently I fell out of my routine of eating healthy, exercising, reading ,etc (essentially dropped a lot of my good habits). I like to blame this on the new(ish) property I bought which has been taking a lot my time and effort trying to get it rent ready. 

This is no excuse though for acquiring poor habits. After recently re-listening to BP Podcast 328, I was inspired to make a weekly goal score-card which tracks how well I drive each goal to completion (arrive to work on time, so many home cooked meals per week, exercising so many times per week, etc.). 

My friend is going to keep me accountable to make sure I complete each goal - does anyone have any suggestions for consequences if I do not meet the goals? I have heard on the podcasts people paying money to the other person, but was wondering if anyone had other ideas?
