Which activity best maintains ongoing accountability by documenting progress?

• A. Revisit Forms
• B. Email
• C. Journals and Logs
• D. Talking About It

Answer: (C)

Ongoing accountability is strongest when there is a written, time-stamped trail of progress. Journals and logs provide that continuous record—daily or weekly entries capture actions taken, adherence to the plan, outcomes, and reflections, and these entries can be reviewed to track patterns, celebrate wins, and adjust goals over time. Because the record persists, it creates a reliable accountability loop for both client and coach.

Revisiting forms can be useful for collecting data, but it isn’t by itself a running log unless it’s regularly updated and reviewed. Email keeps communication going, but messages are scattered and harder to summarize into a cohesive progress timeline. Talking about progress is important for motivation, but without a written record, details can slip and accountability may fade.
