5. Enlist a Friend for Extra Help

Just as committing to a certain activity will boost your chance of following through, so too will asking a good friend to join the activities with you or serve as an accountability partner.

Let’s say you’ve recently discovered that painting can be very relaxing and fun. If you’re willing to turn it into a hobby, ask a friend if they may want to do that as well and sign up together for some painting classes. It is way more fun to share a hobby with a friend and have a few hours a week when you meet and do that thing together.

It’s possible that your friend is also looking for a way to improve their work-life balance, so it’s a win-win situation.
