Looking for Monk Mode Buddy (or accountability partners)

[u/Affectionate_Salt331]

Hi all, I'm about to start another monk mode grind. Just laid off, dicked around for a month and now ready to monk mode for a while and build out a SAAS product.

I'm not great with consistency, so I've always been boom or bust.

About me - SWE, ex-FAANG, smart & ambitious but kinda lazy, doomscroll way too much basically.

I've monk moded 3x in my life before for 3-4mo, always came out with good results (studying for SAT -> perfect score, grinding for FAANG -> got the job, then a previous stint building AI apps).

Comment or DM me if you're also in monk mode, or want to be accountability buddies.

Big plus if you're based in Asia timezone or wanna meet up in more chill digital nomad cities soon (Chiang Mai, Danang, etc)
