It takes less than 10 seconds to create an accountability calendar using iCal (macOS)

A simple step by step guide on how to create a calendar you can use for your personal self-accountability. I’ve used it in 2017 when I designed my economic year, and I’ve been using it in 2018 for my part-time job, my daily walking of 1,8 to 5km and my almost daily voiceover sessions.
