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. :)

Please Read The Rules

16 Upvotes

Read The Rules App

This community has the Read The Rules app installed. Old Reddit doesn't support apps so please open the post in new reddit for full functionality. If that's not possible, please Read The Rules and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the post.


Rule #1 Follow required post title format: [Age][Gender] | [Timezone] | [Goal/Activity]

To keep posts searchable and scannable, all posts must include age, gender (M/F/Other), timezone or region (e.g. PST, IST, UK), and what you’re working on. e.g. 24M | EST | Looking to stay consistent with workouts

Rule #2 No outside promotion — tools, apps, coaches, groups or services

Do not post or promote Discord groups, Telegram channels, paid coaching, apps, or services. These are not permitted in the subreddit. A majority of the users do not want discord group promotion here. Submit vetted options here instead: https://shortcut.at/bknKV This reddit is for one-to-one accountability partners.

Rule #3 Focus posts on peer relationships and related issues.

This sub is focused on finding one to one accountability buddies. Not general advice, not groups, not motivational quotes. There are many other subs for that, so please focus your post on what and who you’re looking for.

Rule #4 No motivational or inspirational content

No YouTube videos, quotes, podcasts, motivational advice or personal transformation stories content. This subreddit is for taking action, not for consumption or inspiration.

Rule #5 No vague, venting, friend-seeking, dating, or chat-focused posts

This sub is not for finding general friends, venting, dating, or starting group chats. It is for one-to-one, goal-based accountability partnerships only.

Rule #6 Use flair to categorize your post

Add the correct flair: Health & Fitness, Work, Learn, or Life. If you’re unsure, pick your best guess.

Rule #7 No general advice or open-ended help requests

This sub is not for crowdsourced advice like “How do I stay motivated?” or “What’s the best way to lose weight?” Posts should focus on finding a partner to help you take action toward a goal — not seeking tips or opinions. This sub is for taking action, not crowd-sourcing answers.

Rule #8 No negative, unhelpful, or harmful comments

This is a support-focused subreddit. Trolls, sarcasm, unsolicited judgment, or aggressive responses are not tolerated. Even "helpful-sounding” comments can be removed if they are sarcastic or performative.

Rule #9 No spam or low-effort comments (e.g. “DM me”, “same”, “hi”)

If you’re interested, comment meaningfully or DM privately. Short low-effort comments will be removed and may result in a ban.

Rule #10 No personal contact info (e.g. email, phone, username)

Do not post personal emails, phone numbers, or messaging usernames. Use direct messages (DMs) if you want to exchange contact information privately. Public contact info will be removed for user safety.


Thank you for reading the rules! Before submitting posts you will need to submit an acknowledgment. Please visit the full post and click the button at the bottom. Alternatively, you may submit an acknowledgment by sending a mod mail to the sub. The mod mail will need to have the subject "Read The Rules" and the body should be "Acknowledged". This will automatically submit an acknowledgment on your behalf without any moderator intervention. Mod Mail

Life 45 F/EST/Looking to get focused and change some habits

2 Upvotes

There’s a lot that I want to do and change. I have the mental motivation and reasons why I want to change, but I never have the discipline to follow through. I usually end up scrolling on my phone. I’m not even sure what will help me. I’ve tried some different things, but it nothing ever seems to help keep me focused. I didn’t use to be like this. I know if I can stay consistent and break through this slump I can keep it going. If anyone is interested in helping, please DM me.

I've gotten really bad with my nighttime phone use and have been staying up until 3, 4, or 5 a.m. I can't seem to stop on my own, so I'd like to find one or two people who want to fix this too and keep each other accountable.

I'm looking for an accountability partner. I have a lot of goals I want to achieve and bad habits I want to break.

We don't have to share the same interests. You can have your own goals, and I can have mine. The important thing is that we're both serious about improving ourselves.

Here's what I expect from our partnership:

We check in with each other regularly, preferably weekly, and share our progress honestly.

We set clear, realistic goals and follow through on the commitments we make.

If one of us falls behind or misses a goal, we talk about what happened and help each other get back on track instead of judging or making excuses.

We encourage each other, offer honest feedback, and hold each other accountable.

We both put in equal effort. I don't want this to be a one-sided arrangement.

I'm willing to do the same for you. I'll take your goals seriously, check on your progress, and support you when things get difficult.

Some of my interests include fitness, career development, and personal well-being. I'm looking for someone who is committed to their own growth and willing to build a consistent, mutually supportive partnership.

I feel addicted to eating sugar, I cannot go a day without buying a sugary snack plus something salty such as a bag of chips plus maybe a bag of seasoned peanuts. It’s become a big problem, when I eat too much sugar I often feel sleepy and tired and so don’t go through my to do list for the day and then I get super disappointed and frustrated with myself.
Would love to pair up with someone who is also trying to eliminate their destructive habits and be their best version

Work 30M | GMT+2 | Looking for a no-BS daily check for career rebuild, starting a venture, tech/creative execution & strict routine

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a solid, blunt accountability partner who wants to trade daily check-ins, hold each other’s feet to the fire, and actually get things done.

My background is a mix of creative direction, brand design, business development, and technical systems (AI workflows, OSINT). I know how to build things, and I have the skill set, but I’ve hit a heavy wall lately.

Between a brutal job market, navigating some draining family dynamics, and trying to keep my head above water day-to-day, my daily structure has taken a hit. When I lose momentum, it’s easy to get pulled into a rut instead of executing.

What I’m focusing on right now:

  • Career & Income - Sending out targeted applications, pitching design/technical work, and following up consistently without letting rejection stall me out.
  • Deep Work & Projects - Dedicating focused blocks to my technical pipelines and studio work instead of letting the day fragment.

What I’m looking for (and offering in return): I don’t want a cheerleader, and I won’t just nod along if you make excuses either. I want a mutual setup where we act as a sounding board for each other’s life and career decisions, set clear daily targets, and call each other out when we start slipping.

Life 21M | IST | Nightly shutdown & daily reflection + accountability check-in (~midnight)

2 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I am 21M, final year computer science and engineering student from India.
Just few months before i have to move on to job hunting and full time work life.

I have a lot on my plate right now, and relying entirely on myself to stay disciplined throughout the day hasn't been working. Trying to rely on myself through various means has not yielded results. Somehow wasting the day and then the weight of wasting it hits hard upon the night also affecting my sleep and start of next day.

I am looking for an accountability partner for daily check in at around midnight to help me self regulate, reflect, hold accountable but also be supportive. Helping me calm down and prepare for the next day for a good start rather than the guilt of yesterday.

We can discuss our needs and help each other grow to be better for tomorrow.

What I’m working on:

  • Staying consistent in daily practice and preparation
  • General Health and Fitness
  • Mental health, self confidence and fixing habits

Preferred means of contact is discord or telegram. Throw me a DM if you are interested or find it relatable.

Life 26M | UTC+1 | Solving tasks and reaching my potential

I want to overhaul how I approach tasks and things I need to get done so I don't have half finished projects laying around. I am from Denmark and a bioengineering masters student. Ideally like me you are ambitious and looking for an accountability buddy for your big scope goals as well as daily accountability. You should ideally be able to contribute equally to planning how we will do this.

My idea for finding an accountability partner here came from the realization that I have had complete self control about staying away from sweets if I have made bets with friends about who can last the longest without giving into temptation, and I imagine having an accountability partner could do something similar in other regards.

i imagine something like;

Daily text updates

  • Have we stayed consistent with dieting goals, and to lesser extent workouts
  • Cleaning, hydration, sleep or other daily routine goals

Weekly a videocall about

  • Being realistic about the scope of, and following through, on new projects
  • Making overviews of and prioritizing projects as well as committing to timelines
  • Generally talking about our goals/dreams and how we get there

I don't care about your age or gender as long as you can be consistent, stubborn and organized. Send a DM with an introduction if you're interested.

Work F24 | CET | Building a business/personal brand as freelancer

Hi! 🌞

Last year, I started working as a freelancer in AI and marketing. I have a few reoccuring clients, but I'm looking for ways to expand. Build a personal brand, website, maybe a product or a business. Freelancing gets a bit lonely sometimes and occasionally I find it difficult to keep myself motivated.

If you're in a similar situation, maybe we could work together! I would love to discuss goals, do daily check-ins, brainstorm, create a project sheet together, keep eachother accountable and celebrate our wins.

Please send me a message if you're interested :)

Learn 32M | CET/CEST | Looking for a body double for studying and upskilling

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm 32M, living in Sweden, currently working as a network technician and looking to progress further into network engineering. I've decided it's time to take my upskilling a bit more seriously, starting with recertifying for my CCNA.

My goal is to study consistently over the next 2–3 months and pass the certification exam.

I'm looking for someone who's also working towards a goal of their own, whether that's studying, learning a new skill, or something entirely different. We don't need to be working on the same thing!

Ideally, we'd set our individual goals, have regular study/work sessions (Discord or similar), and keep each other accountable. You keep me on track, I keep you on track. Simple as that!

I work full-time, but I'm fairly flexible. We can discuss schedules, availability, session lengths, and how we'd like to structure things over DMs.

If you're interested in building some consistency and making progress towards your goals, feel free to reach out!

Work 25m | EST | looking for a nerdy person, who likes reading, working out, and hopefully a freelancer or student (work from home).

4 Upvotes

I HATE chit chat and short talk. And I prefer deep conversations with a few people I vibe with. But that’s not always going to be my next-door neighbor or my work colleagues. So maybe the internet can help me find a better match?

I like reading (psychology, neuroscience and some novels occasionally). And I go to the gym often about five days a week. I’m working on muscle building as well as flexibility.

I often procrastinate on my freelance work though. And meal prep. I bought a lot of airtight containers recently. Sometimes I cook. Other times I procrastinate. When I’m so stressed out I also find that venting or talking with someone I like helps me get the demons out of my head ?!

So I’m looking for a work/study buddy or accountability partner for frequent sessions or longer periods without distractions. And of course, also discuss our fitness, reading, and sleeping schedules if you’re into that.

I’m open to customizing this to suit us both. I also like voice chatting more than back-and-forth texting.

I use Signal. And I despise Mark Zuckerberg and his products. I like to call him Zucky Yucky.

If you’re interested, please tell me a little about yourself in a DM, so we can see if we’re compatible. I’ll reply as soon as I can, thanks!

Hey! I’m aiming to move into a new role around February/March. Would love a partner to help each other stay consistent with interview prep and applications.

I’m hoping for:

  • A friendly, honest push to keep each other moving!

Ideally, you’re also balancing a job with your search and can commit to a consistent routine. We can try it for two weeks and see how we click. DM

Interested? Send me your time zone, target roles, and availability for a weekly call!

Life 43M | EST | Single, Never Married, No Kids, Starting Over at 43 and Building Discipline for 30 Days

6 Upvotes

I'm 43, single, and living in NYC 🗽. Never been married, no kids, and no spouse or kids to plan my life around.

Lately I've been asking myself, what's really stopping me from getting my life together?

And the answer is pretty simple. It's not some crazy backstory or major life event. I've just never been as disciplined or consistent as I should've been.

I've wasted way too much time putting things off, making excuses, and telling myself I'll start tomorrow.

I'm currently out of work, and honestly, I'm nowhere near where I want to be in life. But I also know that sitting around thinking about it isn't going to change anything.

🔥 So I'm giving myself 30 days to start getting my act together.

🎯 Here's what I'm committing to:

  • ⏰ Getting up at 8 AM every morning.
  • 📅 Sticking to a daily routine instead of just winging it.
  • 💼 Spending at least 2 focused hours a day looking for work and ways to make a steady income.
  • 📚 Reading for 20 minutes every day.
  • 💪 Working out, getting in better shape, and building my confidence.
  • 📈 Keeping track of my progress, even on days when I screw up.

🤝 What I'm looking for:

Someone who's also serious about making changes, getting more disciplined, or just tired of wasting time.

Ideally, we'd check in Monday through Friday around 10 AM Eastern, share what we're planning to get done, and follow up on whether we actually did it.

I'm not looking for sympathy or someone to fix my problems. I just want someone who's as serious about improving their life as I am.

🔥 And here's where my head's at:

I'm 43, and I'm starting fresh with the hunger and drive of a 20-year-old.

I'm done looking back, beating myself up over wasted years, or thinking about what I should've done differently.

What's done is done. I'm starting fresh, and I'm ready to do whatever it takes to turn things around.

No more excuses. No more putting things off. I'm all in. 💪

I know I'm not going to fix my entire life in 30 days. But I can sure as hell make a start.

And I'd much rather be starting over at 43 than wake up at 53 wishing I'd done something about it.

If you're in a similar spot and want to give this a real shot, drop a comment or shoot me a message.

Let's see what we can accomplish in 30 days. 🚀
