Name-o-Rama on Twitter

YHC was so happy to be back out in the Gloom with these HIMs.  YHC’s new job has had him on the road during weekdays since mid-Nov.  For YHC, it is WAY too easy to fartsack while away from the PAX, on the road.

The very strange form of accountability that F3 provides is so key to continually overcoming the fartsack and accerelating.  Just knowing that there will be HIMs circling up at 5:30am in the Gloom is such an effective motivator to get up and post.

With that said:   We can all do more to go and EH “That Guy” that we know, and help him by getting him hooked/motivated/disciplined on this type of accountability, so he can accelerate with us, and shed his sad-clowniness.   YHC has a guy like this in mind and hopes to get him to post this week.

YHC is so grateful to be able to work hard alongside all you PAX in the Gloom, and is always grateful to Q.
