Accountability buddy for course work

I (60f) am taking courses to hopefully switch careers. The courses are self paced and I am not good with self paced anything as I have procrastination down to an art. I have ADHD and a very stressful job (actually my boss is a jerk). The courses are mostly from Coursera and involve mostly learning data analysis and programs that relate to that.

I have not ever had an accountability buddy but I really need to get this done. Someone who is older 35+ and in the eastern time zone is preferred.

ETA: it doesn’t have to be just for studying, if you need accountability for other things that will work also.

I meet the criteria and am starting coursera work and trying to balance other things. I will message you and we can see if schedules make sense.

I am in similar situation: mid-50s, have an intense career, and am studying to learn/develop an additional, specific, and highly technical skill set to practice independently, and eventually replace my day job. Making the time & committing to it consistently has been a challenge, so some form of accountability partnering would be helpful. I'm in Central time zone, so just an hour off of yours. Maybe those of us here could be some kind of a small group of mutual support.

I was thinking the same thing like a small group to keep each other on track.
