Not sure what your beef is. A month ago I signed up for a marathon that is in the fall. I then told my family, friends and coworkers. This puts a bit of pressure on me to get results. I did not strictly have to do this but, in my experience ,it makes it more likely I will complete my training. See, most people need a little pressure to be successful because we are naturally lazy. And yes, this includes me. If you want to work in an environment that puts absolutely no pressure on you, sure, do your own thing. There are places where nobody cares for results. But ask anybody who knows anything and they will tell you these are not good places for people who want to be successful.
