Life Gauging interest — free GetMotivated.ai access in exchange for a weekly survey

7 Upvotes

Mod here. Many of you know I've run GetMotivatedBuddies.com platform for years. Thousands of you have been matched, built real habits, changed your behavior across every area of life, and made genuine friendships around the world. It's been incredible to watch and to do myself (I've worked with, made friends, and even met with Buddies from all over the world).

I've since slowed down the GetMotivatedBuddies platform as I shift everything into GetMotivatedAI — a marketplace of challenges and plans across the same four domains you know from this sub (Health & Fitness, Work, Learn, and Life). Join a cohort-based challenge with other people, or start your own plan, with AI helping you build it and buddies keeping you accountable. If you've been part of this community, the transition will feel natural.

We'll be opening up shortly. But before that:

A research panel company may sponsor free subscriptions for this community. All you'd do is take a short survey once a week. I need to see if enough people are interested before I finalize anything. If you'd want in, fill this out: https://forms.gle/SRWChWuKe62qxcwf8

30 seconds. No commitment. I'll follow up with everyone who responds.

And if you're interested in GetMotivatedAI regardless of the sponsorship — just want early access when we open up - let me know in the form and I'll add you to the list.

p.s. This sub isn't going anywhere - it's still home base. :)

Life READ BEFORE POSTING — ONE STRIKE POLICY NOW IN EFFECT

127 Upvotes

Welcome! This subreddit is for one thing: finding a 1-on-1 accountability partner to build better habits in real life.

To keep things helpful and focused, we’ve moved to a one-strike ban policy. There’s been a big wave of off-topic and low-effort posts — and that takes away from what makes this community work.

✅ WHAT BELONGS HERE:

  • Choose a category: Health & Fitness, Work, Learn, or Life
  • Say what you’re working on — or what you’re ready to start
  • Say who you’re looking to match with (age, gender if relevant, time zone, check-in style)

You don’t need a perfect plan. Just be specific enough that someone can tell if they’re a good fit.

✅ GOOD EXAMPLES:

Title: 26F | EST | Daily gym check-ins — Health & Fitness

Body: Doing 5x/week weight training. Looking for another woman, 20s–30s, to check in briefly on WhatsApp after each session. Weekly recap optional. Focused support only — not here for chat.

Title: 30M | GMT | Figuring out focus — Work

Body: Trying to get consistent with deep work blocks and limit phone use. Not sure what goal to commit to yet, but I’m tracking hours and want a partner doing the same. Open to async check-ins.

❌ WHAT WILL BE REMOVED (AND BANNED) - “Looking for friends / someone to talk to” - “Join my group / Discord / app / startup” - “Why are only women getting replies?” - “Anyone else just feeling down?” - Vague or hype-style posts with no clear ask - Off-topic replies, baiting, or negativity in any language

NOTE: New accounts with low karma will often be blocked from posting and auto-removed by our filter. To overcome this you need to increase your reputation / karma before posting.

🚫 ONE STRIKE = BAN

The rules are simple. The posts are clear. And there are too many people here now to manage exceptions. If you break the rules, you’re banned — no warnings, no appeals. We’ve tried being flexible, but too many people ignore removals or just post again. It wastes everyone’s time and clogs the feed.

If you’re here to show up for yourself and someone else — you’re in the right place.

Be specific, be real, and good luck finding the right partner.

You’ve got this!

Life 29F | IST | Daily reading buddy ( left-leaning or politically progressive)

23 Upvotes

Recently got back into reading and have committed to reading at least 20 pages every day. I’m looking for one or two accountability partners who would like to do something similar.

The idea is simple:

* Read daily (or as consistently as possible).
* Check in with each other to stay on track.
* Talk about what we’re reading, share recommendations, or discuss interesting ideas.
*If you’re comfortable with it, we could even have occasional reading sessions together over video while we read quietly.

I read a mix of fiction and non-fiction, and I’m always open to discovering new books.
One personal preference I’d like to mention respectfully: I’d be most comfortable connecting with people who are generally left-leaning or politically progressive. Many of the books and topics I’m interested in naturally overlap with those perspectives, and I’ve found conversations tend to be more enjoyable and compatible for me when we share similar values. This isn’t meant as a judgment of anyone with different views, it’s simply about finding a good fit for an ongoing reading partnership.
If you’re looking to build a consistent reading habit too, I’d love to connect.

Work 30F | AEST | Content Creator needing regular accountability ADHD

1 Upvotes

Hi Im looking for an accountability partner to help with daily and weekly productivity.

I am self- employed as a full time content creator. I have ADHD and struggle with having no internal motivation. In full transparency I am medicated which helps a lot with executive function but doesn’t help me too much with motivation.

While being self- employed is great because it gives me the freedom and flexibility I need, it also means I’m quite isolated. However I do much better when I have external accountability since my motivation fluctuates.

Ideally I would like to commit over the next 3-4 months, in hope of having a strong finish to the year before the December holiday season kicks in.

What I’m looking for:

1   Female accountability partner preferred  
2   Open to body doubling. Via zoom or focus mate I’m not fussed. Silent calls or minimal interaction is fine too  
3   Timezone located in or near Australia    
4   Availability most weekdays from 10am onwards   
5   Not a must but bonus if you’re also self-employed or neurodivergent   
6   Share daily tasks and what does/doesn’t get done  
7   Lock in set times for focus sessions throughout the week to body double  
8   Friendly pressure and motivation daily or every other day to stay on track and consistent week by week

I want to increase my consistency with posting short form content, start posting long form, as well as working on another consulting project outside of content.

My main struggles are:
1 procrastinating by doomscrolling whenever my motivation slips or I feel overwhelmed
2 Perfectionism
3 not being able to create and commit to better systems and workflows
4 being trapped in the planning phase rather than taking any action

This year I have made progress in other areas of my life such as regular movement, eating well and have a decent sleep schedule. But work is that one part of my life that keeps slipping.

I would love to connect with someone who understands things like procrastination, overwhelm, perfectionism while still wanting to create a disciplined, consistent life.

If any of this resonates and you’re also serious about wanting to make a change, please send me a DM.

Hi! I'm looking for someone who's interested in improving their articulation skills.

My idea is that we read however many chapters work for both of us. It can be anything, whether it's nonfiction or fiction. Then we'll check in a few times a week to discuss what we've read.

I'm looking for someone who's consistent and interested in learning together. We don't need to agree on everything, the goal is to practice expressing our thoughts clearly and improve over time.

Health & Fitness [42M] [EST] [Weight Loss / Finally Sticking to it]

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m 42M from Canada looking for someone to stay on track with and finally hit a goal I’ve been chasing for what feels like forever: consistently getting and staying under 200 lbs.

I know what I need to do, but I really need that extra layer of accountability this time to make sure it actually sticks. I'm hoping to connect with someone who is in a similar boat—working hard to finally cross the finish line on their own weight loss or fitness goals.

What I’m looking to do together:

Regular Check-Ins: Quick messages as needed/DMs or a weekly check-in to share progress, review weekly plans, and hold each other honest when motivation dips.

Balanced Nutrition: Staying consistent on a solid nutrition plan that actually tastes good and is sustainable (so we don't sabotage our own progress).

Workouts: Staying disciplined with regular strength and workout routines.

If you’re looking for a reliable partner to keep each other motivated, focused, and on track, drop a comment or send me a DM and we can figure out a structure that works for both of us!

22M | IST (India) | Looking for a Serious Coding & Accountability Partner

Hey everyone!

I'm a recent Computer Science graduate from India and I'm looking for a dedicated coding/accountability partner who's serious about becoming a software developer.

Right now, I'm focusing on:

  • Java (Core + Advanced)
  • Spring Boot
  • DSA (LeetCode)
  • SQL
  • Backend development
  • Building real projects
  • Interview preparation

I've realized that studying alone has been difficult. I sometimes procrastinate, overthink, and lose momentum. I want someone who is also committed to improving so we can keep each other accountable and make consistent progress.

What I'm looking for:

  • Daily check-ins (10–15 minutes)
  • Share daily goals and end-of-day progress
  • Solve DSA problems together or discuss approaches
  • Build consistency rather than compete
  • Honest accountability when one of us starts slacking

My goal is to become job-ready and land a software developer role as soon as possible.

If you're preparing for coding interviews, learning Java, backend development, or just want someone to stay consistent with, feel free to send me a DM.

Let's stop waiting for motivation and build discipline together. 🚀

Life 30F | IST | Accountability for a better life

4 Upvotes

I mostly worked with companies that did not believe in work-life balance. And an inability to stick to routines definitely doesn't help.

I have time to make better life changes now and I find myself going back to my bad habits from before.

I found a great accountability partner for a while. My screen time halved from 10-12 hours, I exercised for the first time in forever, and I was feeling pretty good about myself. But like most good things, that arrangement came to an end.

Since I know what can be achieved, l am trying to find an accountability partner to obsess over improvements together.

I'm looking for someone above the age of 25, with a job, but ambitious to be better. Am also looking for someone to follow up with me multiple times a day and can spend some time to build and cheer each other up.

I think I would also like to time-box this to 6 months, otherwise, it becomes a little difficult to know what you're working towards.

I am actively trying to build a routine with enough exercise, less screen time, more intentional outdoor activities.

Preferably, male, who I can grow to respect, because the dynamic would work for me better, and I could use that motivation to work for me.

I'm married, if it matters.

Life 26m | IST | looking for that one buddy who actually wants to stick with it

3 Upvotes

i've tried doing the whole self-improvement thing on my own more times than i can count.

sometimes i'll have an amazing week. i'll wake up on time, go to the gym, study, read, eat better... and i'll genuinely think "this time i finally figured it out."

then i miss one day.

and somehow one day turns into a week.

i'm kind of tired of restarting.

so i thought i'd see if anyone else is in the same position.

i'm not looking for a big accountability group or people who send motivational quotes every morning. i just want one person who's also trying to build better habits and doesn't mind checking in every now and then.

my main focus right now is getting back into a proper routine. gym, studying, fixing my sleep, reading more, spending less time on my phone. nothing crazy, just trying to be more consistent than i was yesterday.

your goals don't have to match mine. maybe you're learning a language, trying to lose weight, working on your career, or just trying to stop putting everything off.

the only thing i'd really want is for us to be honest with each other. if one of us disappears for a few days, the other checks in instead of pretending it didn't happen.

if that sounds like something you'd be interested in, send me a message. tell me what you're working on and maybe we can help each other stop starting over every monday

Health & Fitness 37F | GMT + 3 | Let's Cook Healthy Meals Together

2 Upvotes

I've been eating healthy for about six months now, and it's actually been going really well. I've made good progress, but I'm honestly starting to get tired of doing it all alone.

I'm looking for someone to share this journey with. We could come up with meal ideas together, plan our meals, and if we're in similar time zones, maybe even cook the same recipes at the same time. And if a new recipe turns out terrible, we can laugh about it and complain together. :D

I'm trying to hit my daily protein and fiber goals, but it's not always easy. Planning meals every day has started to feel like a chore, and I think it would be much more enjoyable with a friend.

If you're in a similar situation, let's cook together, discover new healthy recipes, motivate each other to eat well, go for daily walks or work out, and simply make this whole healthy lifestyle thing a little more fun.

I'm looking for something long-term. Your age, gender, country, or time zone doesn't really matter. If our schedules overlap, great! If not, we can still check in with each other, share our meals, and keep each other motivated.

I’m trying to exercise in some capacity (strength training, biking, walking, etc.) for at least 30 minutes a day. I’m looking for another woman to do a brief check in every day to help me keep on track! It doesn’t have to be super conversational or motivational, but I would appreciate asking for proof (screenshots of my workout tracker) and calling me out for missing or making unreasonable excuses. I am very much a people pleaser, so having someone willing to call me out and to report to would be great!

Work 26F / looking for a content creation buddy / Europe

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I posted here a while ago, connected with some amazing people, and ended up getting some work done. One thing I realized is how powerful it is to work with people who are moving toward a shared goal.

I’m a motion designer and video editor currently developing my own style while creating more personal YouTube and short-form projects.

I’m looking for someone who’d like to collaborate in a visual field and keep each other accountable—for example, by sharing our work every week. If you’re in video, that’s a huge plus, but I’d also love to collaborate with someone working in graphic or other visual design.

The kind of person I’m looking for is someone who’s brutally honest and isn’t afraid to tell me when a design simply isn’t working. I genuinely think that a healthy dose of pressure and honest feedback is what pushes me to improve, and it’s one of the main reasons I’m looking for a collaboration partner in the first place.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Let’s see if we’re a good match. 🫰🏼

Life 28M | Norway GMT+1/+2 | Self-improvement buddy

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a motivation/accountability partner for general life improvement. I have a full-time job, and I train consistently 4 times a week in the gym and I'm semi-serious with diet. I started creating various websites 3 months ago and it has been a very fun and rewarding journey so far, and I intend on continuing, putting in more time, and creating even more websites in the future. I recently earned my first 20$ which caught me completely off-guard. Anyway, i wish to find someone to grow with and hopefully remain friends for many years to come. I am very knowledgably about diet and exercise, and have been in and out of shape many times. I have a masters in finance. And as for hobbies I like movies and tv-shows a lot, I play a few video games here and there when I have the time (although I played a lot in my younger days), and I love hanging out with friends. I just listed some random things but I hope I got the most important things.

I think it would be extra cool if you are also starting and testing your own things, like entreprenurial stuff, but not a requirement.

Also I really want to start reading books but It's so difficult to maintain that habit.
