Accountability Partner: Public Morning Workout Tracker
A public commitment board tracking my daily morning workout challenge. Every workout, every morning, visible to everyone.
The Challenge
In October 2025, I made a commitment: work out before 8:30 AM every single day. But personal promises are easy to break in private. This project makes my commitment public—a digital accountability partner that tracks every workout time and displays them for everyone to see.
Why Morning Workouts Matter
"Win the morning, win the day" isn't just a cliché—it's a foundational principle for peak performance. Early morning exercise:
- Sets the tone for discipline and momentum throughout the day
- Eliminates excuses before work, meetings, or fatigue can derail plans
- Builds consistency through non-negotiable morning rituals
- Creates accountability when tracked publicly
Technical Implementation
- WHOOP API integration automatically pulls workout start times
- Timezone normalization converts UTC timestamps to New York time for accurate tracking
- Interactive visualization displays workout times with color-coded success/failure markers
- Real-time updates via ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration) every 6 hours
- Goal tracking with clear visual indicators for before/after 8:30 AM threshold
The Power of Public Accountability
Making this data public transforms a personal goal into a public commitment. The psychological impact is profound—knowing that my workout times are visible creates an additional layer of motivation beyond personal discipline. This isn't about perfection; it's about consistency, transparency, and building a system that makes it harder to break promises to myself.
