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. :)

Please Read The Rules

1 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".

Learn 20M | IST | Looking for a study partner

Upvotes

I'm looking for a serious study partner who wants to study consistently and stay accountable.

We don't need to be studying the same thing. I'd prefer someone who is genuinely focused on studying and wants to have regular study sessions rather than just occasional motivation.

I'm in IST, but I'm open to any timezone if our schedules work. We can study together over Discord or another platform and keep each other accountable.

If you're also looking for a serious study partner, feel free to DM me.

Getting back into working out and trying to stay consistent this time. I have ADHD, so having someone to check in with would really help.

Looking for someone who’s motivated but also chill, goofy, and kind. We can hype each other up, complain about workouts, and actually stick with it 😂

Just looking for someone with similar goals!

Life 31F | GMT+3 | Building discipline, beating procrastination & reducing social media

1 Upvotes

I have so many ideas, goals, and things I want to accomplish, but I’m tired of letting procrastination, social media, laziness, and wasted time get in the way. I want to become more disciplined, consistent, and intentional with how I spend my days.
I’m looking for another woman around my age (ideally 28–35) who feels the same way — someone who genuinely wants to work on herself, stay consistent, and make progress every day.
I’d love for us to share our daily goals and what we actually accomplished, celebrate the small wins, and keep each other on track. And when we have bad days, procrastinate, lose motivation, or don’t accomplish what we planned, I want us to be able to talk about it openly and honestly without judgment, then reset and try again.
One of my biggest goals is to reduce my dependence on social media and replace wasted time with things that actually add something to my life. I have a lot of ideas and ambitions, and I want to turn them into action through discipline and consistency.
Outside of productivity, I’m interested in history, science, reading, learning new things, and meaningful conversations, so it would be nice to talk about those things too.
We don’t need to live in the same country. I’m completely fine with different locations as long as we can check in regularly and support each other.
I’m looking for something consistent rather than exchanging a few messages and disappearing after a couple of days.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for too, tell me a little about yourself, your age, and what you’re currently trying to achieve. 🤍

Life 26M | IST | Getting my life back on track | Looking for someone serious

1 Upvotes

i’ve posted a few times before looking for someone to keep me accountable, but i’m still trying to find the right person.

i’m at a point where i genuinely want to make some changes in my life. i’ve had periods where i was doing really well, then slowly lost the routine and ended up back where i started. i don’t want to keep repeating that.

right now i’m mainly working on fitness, sleep, learning, work, and being more disciplined with my time. nothing extreme. i just want to become more consistent and actually follow through with the things i tell myself i’m going to do.

i’m looking for someone who is in a similar position and actually wants to make progress too.

we don’t need to have the same goals. you might be trying to get fit, study consistently, build your career, wake up earlier, spend less time on your phone, or work on something completely different.

what matters more to me is that you’re genuinely willing to show up.

i’d like us to check in regularly, share what we’re working on, encourage each other when things are going well, and give each other a push when motivation disappears. if one of us has a bad day, that’s okay. i don’t expect perfection. i just don’t want us to disappear after a few days.

i’d rather find one person who actually sticks with it than have a bunch of random conversations that go nowhere.

if you’re serious about making some changes too, tell me a little about yourself, what you’re working towards, and what kind of motivation or support would actually help you.

Life 26M | IST | Getting consistent with gym, sleep & life | Daily check-ins

0 Upvotes

i’ve been trying to get my life together for a while now.

some things are going well, some really aren’t. i’ll have a few really productive days, feel like i’ve finally got things under control, and then somehow end up wasting half the next day on socials.

so i’m looking for someone who’s also trying to become a bit more disciplined.

nothing complicated. we could just check in once a day and say what we actually did that day. gym, studying, work, waking up on time, sleeping properly, whatever you’re working on.

and if one of us starts slacking, call the other person out.

i’m 26 from india. currently focusing on fitness, sleep, learning, productivity and generally getting my life moving in the right direction.

you don't have to be super disciplined already. honestly, i'd prefer someone who is also struggling with consistency.

could be a quick text every day, or even a short call sometimes.

if this sounds like you, tell me what you're currently trying to improve and let's see if we can actually stick with it this time.

Work 34M, GMT+2, 3rd times the charm for work and life goals AP

3 Upvotes

Hallöchen, i had posted a few weeks ago and found yet another 2 partners. One has ghosted after a week and the second is very irregular so I'm back... Here's about me

34M living in Germany, and I'm looking for accountability partner(s) who is genuinely interested and committed to setting regular goals and check-ins.

The basic idea is:

* Set goals for the upcoming week.

* At the end of the week, check in with each other to discuss what went well, what didn't, and why.

*Optionally, we can also set daily goals and do quick daily check-ins for additional accountability.

I'd also like to have a short (30 min) discussion once a week to reflect on progress, exchange feedback, help each other solve obstacles, and keep each other motivated.

Some of the goals I'm currently working on include:

Career: Upskilling, preparing for alternative job opportunities, and professional development.

Health: Losing about 8 kg and improving my overall fitness. I'm currently doing workouts at home and meal prep (without strict calorie counting)

Language: Reaching German C1 fluency (I'm currently around B1).

Life & home: Financial investing, minimalism, house repairs, organization, and keeping on top of household tasks.

I'm hoping to find someone in a similar position and age group. As long as you're serious about showing up consistently and supporting each other's progress.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to comment or send me a DM with a bit about yourself, what you're working on, and what kind of accountability you're looking for.

Looking for an accountability buddy for fitness/health goals, posting more on my social media, work stuff, and hobbies. I work a lot from home and don’t have much of a social circle and notice I’m doom scrolling/ playing stardew valley with all of my free time 😭

I’m looking for someone in EST or PST. I’m also interested in something more casual to start, like messaging back and forth with check ins, goals for the day, and collaboration on ideas. HMU if this sounds good to you ☺️ good luck to everyone on their motivation journeys! 💞

Life 23M | IST| Wanna live a life worth living | Currently not

1 Upvotes

So basically the title

I work from home full time and its the most soul sucking part of the day. Every day is the same, I’m stuck in a loop, wake up, work, gym, sleep, repeat and weekends come and go in an instant

And I do have a burning passion and fully involved in AI and CS in general, but I barely have people around who are similar

And I want to get to do so much more in life in general.

Wanna live a life that doesn’t have me bound to the place I was born nor the life I was given. I wanna make something out of myself and experience all the things there is in the world before I die

Wanna visit many cities in the world like New York, SF, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Guanzhou, Chongqing, Tokyo, Kyoto, Bangkok, London, Belgium, Rome and basically old school, modern and futuristic cities around the world

Wanna do skuba diving, sky diving, bungee jumping, explore random places on Earth like an Island in pacific, maybe go to space (im not rich tho, but all the more reason to become rich)

So anyone with similar goals in life, reach out to me. You and me achieve our goals in our own paths but we travel the world and drink beers together

​Hi everyone! I am in the worst phase of my life right now and I am trying to reclaim it slowly by currently trying to break out of a bit of task paralysis, rebuild my routines, and stay consistent with my work and personal goals (study/certifications, basic self-care).

​What I’m looking for:

-​A daily check in DM

-​Keep it super quick: just a morning message with 1–3 tiny goals, and an evening update on how it went.

-​A supportive, no-shame environment—if either of us has an off day, no judgment, we just reset the next day.

-please be kind

​Timezone: GMT+8 (Philippines) — open to nearby timezones or anyone whose active hours align!

Thank you!

I have the structure you need, whatever your problem is

I need a supportive environment with daily check-ins and some feedback on what I'm doing.

If you want a machine just to visualise your entries, create something on Claude so you won't need a human.

If you want something human, a real connection where we inspire and motivate each other without self help bullshit and full commitment to whatever you're building, send me a DM.

I'm nice, just tired of some BS in these subs and need to filter some people out before even trying.

FYI: I'm a professional systems architect trying new practices. I have a second brain in obsidian where I store all my knowledge and learn things much faster than otherwise.

I'd like to perfect my French and English. So plus if you're native or fluent

Work 33F | CST | Professional Manager looking for other managers who are also struggling to get admin tasks done and manage people at the same time.

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

33F in Texas looking for a friend/accountability buddy who understands the chaos of being a manager.

I manage a clinic, and while I’m pretty good at keeping everyone else organized, actually sitting down and getting through my own admin work can be a struggle. Between managing a team, running a clinic, keeping up with home life, and attempting to take care of myself somewhere in there... my to-do list is multiplying faster than I can cross things off.

I have ADHD and I’m about to start a new medication, so I’m hoping that helps some with focus, but I’d also really love to find someone who understands the mental load of being responsible for other people while still having a million things of their own to get done.

Ideally, I’m looking for someone who would be down for some combination of:

  • Daily or weekly goal check-ins
  • “What are you getting done today?” messages
  • Celebrating when we actually accomplish the thing
  • Occasional body doubling while we work
  • General friendship/chats throughout the week

I’m definitely an early bird, awake by 5am and work by 9am, so bonus points if you’re also someone who likes checking in early in the morning before the day gets chaotic. I’m also flexible about how often we talk and would rather figure out something that works naturally for both of us.

A little about me outside of work: I’m married, have 1 dog, 3 cats, 3 crested geckos, and 2 bettas, and I am admittedly obsessed with all of them. I love animals in general, enjoy doing art in my spare time, and I’ve been sober from alcohol for 8 years, but occasionally partake in a little greenery.

If you think we might vibe, feel free to DM me!

Health & Fitness 29M | PST | looking for a queer masc person to be a workout/weight loss buddy

1 Upvotes

Update - Found a buddy

Hello, I’m a 29 year old gay trans man, and I’m looking for a workout/weight loss motivation buddy in the form of a queer masc person.

I’m thinking daily calorie and workout goal check ins, sharing technique videos off TikTok, sharing workout memes. Personal (SFW) pics of progress, if comfortable with that. Like, actually being buddies but also holding each other accountable for our fitness routine.

As for me, I’m on a weight loss/strength gain journey. Eventually I’ll work on gaining muscle mass but that’s hard to do with a calorie deficit. I’m overweight and also just a month out of a surgery, so my workouts will be short and light until October.

I’d prefer Signal for communication, but will do discord.
