A large deficit in the challenge of becoming truly productive is, when working / using Simpleology on one's own one needs to rely almost entirely on one's own faculties and willpower to remain focused. For many this is very difficult and no matter how good or effective the tools at our disposal are, this will always be deciding factor in whether or not they meet their goals.

In the spirit of "pair programming" (sorry to non-programmers, as a programmer it's the best analogy I can come up with) a Simpleology "pair productivity" accountability system would remove this final hurdle by allowing another appointed Simpleology user to access some or all of our task lists to make us accountable and keep us on track.

This would work best as a reciprocal arrangement between two or more people who know each other well enough to trust with personal accountability and reliability.

Simpleology had the coaching programme a while back. Although I don't know how effective this was, a partner accountability system would retain the same benefits and principles while, arguably, doing it better by simplifying the process (what we're all about, right? ;-) ) - both for Simpleology as a business and us as its user community.

Technically, it could re-used facilities already provided by Simpleology's "Volume licensing" for businesses.

As a business, it could help Simpleology by providing additional incentives for inviting others to join and for them to join up with a friend.

The benefits to the others of joining Simpleology are increased if they know they do not have to do it on their own.

It make it easy for the more experienced partner(s) to explain the less intuitive aspects of Simpleology (of which there aren't many and less as time goes on - but it would still be helpful for the complete beginner / technophobe).

It has the appeal of deepening existing relationships.

This could exist as perhaps a limit of two or three in the free, pro, or elite versions. Perhaps one accountability partner in the free version, and possibly up to the level of master mind group of 12 for the paid accounts (12 because studies show that communication and mutual relationships suffer in larger numbers).

I'd love to know what others think of this idea, especially Mark Joyner himself.
