Design a Personal Accountability System from Scratch

You know accountability helps you finish things, but the systems other people swear by feel wrong for you. Name your goal and this builds one to fit: a five-question weekly self-check-in, an external mechanism that suits how you actually work, partner, coach, public commitment or app, with the reasoning, plus a way to recover when you slip.

<context>
Accountability structures dramatically improve goal completion rates, but most people use systems that do not match their personality or lifestyle.

<task>
**Create** a personalised accountability system for [your goal]. Include:
1. A weekly self-check-in template (5 questions)
2. A recommended external accountability mechanism (partner, coach, public commitment, or app) with justification
3. A consequence structure -- one positive reward and one meaningful cost -- for hitting or missing weekly targets
4. A monthly reset ritual to adjust the plan

Numbered sections with sub-bullets. Keep the self-check-in as a ready-to-copy template.
