I shipped an ebook yesterday - in the "blizzard") - because I set a date, told people about it, and had a cheering section encouraging me to ship. Works really well. I find two things that help.

For me, that fly would *not* know what I'm all about. That is to say... I spend a lot of my time doing things that are counter to what I really want to do, to what I really see in my future. Great little post -- I'll imagine that fly following me around, and try to act according to my passions and goals rather than someone else's... Take care... Josh, that’s a good thing to think about.

Great little post — I’ll imagine that fly following me around, and try to act according to my passions and goals rather than someone else’s…
Take care…

People have an ideal vision of themselves as how they'd like to be at some point in time - the trouble with that vision is they often neglect the path from here to there, the means to achieve their dream. What you're observing is the path that they're currently on. Unless they're an unusually honest person, they probably aren't actively moving towards their 'goal'. I think most of us would benefit from having a fly on the wall tell us where we really are headed, as long as we'd have the sense to listen.
