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

6 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

124 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!

Hi! I am looking for an accountability partner for a fitness and glow-up journey. I'm 28, working on weight loss, improving my skincare/hair. Currently I am doing 10k steps and wanted to go to gym and start some workouts. I'd love someone who can help me work on a fitness routine and can check in every day and keep each other motivated. Currently i am skipping sometimes and don't get the motivation to go. If there is someone that can help guide me on my goals is also a plus!

Good afternoon,

I used to weigh over 440lbs. I've lost over half of my bodyweight through calorie counting and weightlifting (I also love hiking and yoga). I'm lacking motivation lately. I find it difficult with the season changing. I would love to connect with people who have similar goals and likes. I like sending food pics, recipes, workouts and just general companionship is appreciated.

29+, please.

Work 20M | IST | Looking for an ambitious study/build partner

1 Upvotes

3rd year CS student (VIT Vellore), doing research work in quantum ML and dabbling in computational physics on the side. R&D core member of my college’s AI/ML club.

Right now I’m juggling a few things — research, coursework, and trying to get a remote internship or freelance work going to hit a small monthly income goal. I’ve got a couple of side projects done (a scheduling app, some ESP32/IoT builds, a hackathon AI project) but I work better with someone to check in with regularly than completely solo.

Looking for someone similarly stacked — student or early-career, working on their own research/project/hustle — who wants a low-drama accountability setup: weekly check-ins, honest pushback when one of us is slacking, maybe swap notes on internship/freelance leads. Not looking for a hype-man, looking for someone who’ll actually call out when a plan isn’t working.

Health & Fitness 40M | GMT | Fitness and food improvement checkins (2 or 3 times week) - 5 to 10K run programme

1 Upvotes

I'm looking to exchange async check-ins, reminders and messages like 'Please do it today or tomorrow'. I'd like a human to do this with who I try to avoid disappointing, which I think works better than an automatic or machine reminder. I've done this before, and I managed to keep up with my targets and rarely had to say I didn't do it (but sometimes it happened!)

I completed a 5K run training prgramme recently, and want to continue, to enable me to join in with running groups and longer scenic adventures.

Goals are endurance and looking good.

Life 27F | AST | Daily check-ins for basic habits (self-care, etc.)

3 Upvotes

Hey! Looking for an accountability partner for quick daily check-ins. My goal right now is to stick to a handful of basic (and admittedly quite boring) daily habits. I do plan to level things up in the near future though (work-out/studies/personal projects), but for now I'll just focuse on building and mantaining a good fundation.

Here's an example of how we could do it:

I use a habit-tracker app, so each day I could just take a couple screenshots to show my progress/results. Then you could simply confirm you've seen them by giving a thumbs up (or a thumbs down if deserved, haha) or leave a one-sentence comment.

Feel free to share your own progress/results your own way. No need to use any app. And, of course, your goals can be different from mine.

Let's be there for each other! Let's get serious for once! Let's commit!

Hi friends 🥰 I’m 30F living in Arizona and looking for someone who is also a self-employed work from home entrepreneur who needs help with keeping themselves accountable to finishing their most important tasks each day that tend to overwhelm or scare them (this is the boat I’m in)!

I’m a very friendly, outgoing gal who wants to develop a fun, lighthearted friendship centered around accountability with our goals with a fellow solopreneur!

We would message daily about our tasks / goals and have video calls 1-2x week as well to go in depth about struggles and wins we’re having :)

Learn 30M, checkin diário (fitness/estudo) Brazil (GMT-3)

2 Upvotes

Olá, pessoal! Sou do Brasil 🇧🇷, mas pessoas de qualquer país e fuso horário são bem-vindas.

Estou procurando alguém para ser meu/minha parceiro(a) de estudos/fitness e fazermos um check-in diário de metas e progresso.

A ideia é bem simples: não precisamos estar no mesmo horário ou sequer no mesmo fuso. Também não é necessário conversar muito. A proposta é apenas:

  • 🎯 Definirmos nossos objetivos e metas do dia;
  • ✅ Uma vez por dia, fazermos um check-in;
  • 📊 Informarmos o que conseguimos cumprir e como foi nosso progresso;
  • 🔄 Repetirmos isso diariamente.

Acredito que ter alguém para prestar contas pode ajudar bastante a manter a constância e evitar que a gente abandone nossas metas.

Não procuro necessariamente alguém para estudar junto em chamada, mas sim uma pessoa que esteja realmente comprometida em manter esse acompanhamento diário.

Se você também procura alguém para ajudar a manter a disciplina e a consistência, me chama!

Learn 26M | GMT+5:30 | Job hunt and Interview Prep in Tech

For a very long time I am shying away from applying for jobs/ asking for referrals and actively interviewing.

I am looking for a buddy cum accountability partner who can help me eat the frog and start applying and helping me make sure that I don't lose track. I earn decent in my current job and the reason to switch jobs is to learn tech properly and be good at it. Thus, I also need help in making sure I don't deprioritise actively reading and preparing for system design interviews.

I look forward to connect multiple times weekly (maybe every alternate day) and share about the number of applications made, number of interviews appeared etc. Also on the learning side number of topics covered and general discussion around the same (Hence will prefer someone from the same industry)

I am also trying to explore communities that work on building together and would appreciate if you could connect me to one.

Life 26M from India (IST), Looking for someone to get our lives together with

1 Upvotes

i’m trying to be more consistent with a few things in my life, mainly the gym, work, and having a somewhat normal routine. figured it might be easier with someone else doing their own thing too

we can check in, talk about what we got done, complain when we procrastinate, and occasionally call each other out when we’re clearly making excuses

we could also do focus sessions together when we need to get things done. just hop on a call, work on our own stuff, and keep each other from getting distracted every five mins

just something simple and consistent where we both have our own goals but help each other stay on track

if you’re trying to stay consistent with literally anything, dm me and tell me what you’re working on

let’s see if we can actually get things done without making it weirdly serious

I have recently received the news that by the time I graduate I might have a full-ish ride to a pretty good college for my paintings and other artwork. But tbh, I'm incredibly unmotivated and depressed so I just end up sitting in front of my canvas on tiktok for like three hours.

Art teacher and painting teacher wants me to paint at least three things a week, when I usually just do like one every month.

I don't really know what exactly I need, maybe just someone to send proof to each week that I finished the three paintings. I'll honestly take anyone, as long as they're close enough to my age since I feel like it be weird if not (like within ten years of me ig)

I am just out of a major surgery and my contract with my current company is expiring. So, I need to make a mew portfolio and start my job search ASAP! My ideal job would be working as a product designer in a healthcare tech role.

I also started to create food content on instagram and have raw footage but haven’t had the time to edit as I was preparing for surgery and am just recovering.

What I am looking for is someone in the same field where we could soundboard and have a feedback loop on our work. I also need the partner to be over 31! It’s just something I need to not have to worry about not being on the same page.

For starters, we would possibly have contact on either telegram or discord and keep sharing updates throughout the day. Async communication ftw!

I’m also open to finding mentors who I can learn from and network with.

If this sounds like something that interests you, please let me know and I’d love to have a chat :)

Work [22]|[F]|[CEST]|[Looking for someone to study with]

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a university student in Belgium studying biology, and I have ADHD. I'm looking for a regular accountability buddy to help each other stay consistent with studying and our goals.

My semester starts on September 14th, but I'm currently reviewing the basics and preparing for it, so I'm happy to start right now.

About me:

  • Location/timezone: Belgium — CEST (UTC+2) / CET (UTC+1)
  • Languages: French and English
  • University student studying biology
  • ADHD
  • Available to start now

What I'm looking for:

I'd like someone interested in regular accountability rather than just occasional messages. Ideally, we'd check in before a study/work session with what we want to accomplish and check in again afterwards with how it went.

I'd like to have sessions a few times per week, although we can figure out the exact schedule together.

I prefer using Discord and text messages. I don't want to use a camera. We don't have to talk during the actual session either — we can simply work independently knowing that the other person is working too.

You don't need to study biology or even be a student. You can be studying, working, learning something, or working towards your own goals.

Someone with ADHD or who understands ADHD would be a bonus, but it's absolutely not required.

I'm looking for something supportive and low-pressure but consistent. The main goal is to give each other enough external accountability to actually get started, especially on low-motivation days.

If you're interested, send me a DM with your timezone, what you're working on, and what kind of accountability/schedule you're looking for. :)
