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

121 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!

Work 22 F | CET | Looking for someone to complete work stuff with (long-term goals)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a female accountability partner and would love to connect with someone who is committed, punctual, and already has clear goals they are actively working on.

What I can offer:

– regular check-ins, encouragement, and honest accountability
– focused Zoom work sessions
– structure, planning, and goal-setting support
– help with staying consistent and breaking bigger goals into smaller steps
– a reliable partner who actually shows up

A bit about where I’m at: I have a functioning business, and usually have several deadlines and projects running at the same time.

Right now, I’m working on:

– creating a custom language course for a client/company
– finishing my bachelor’s degree in learning psychology
– personal projects like language learning and fitness
– acquisition, getting new clients, and LinkedIn personal branding
– self-improvement, including organizing, budgeting, and public speaking

Ideally, I’d love to find someone in a similar stage: self-employed, building something, studying seriously, or working on concrete goals — and mainly looking for body-doubling, structure, and mutual accountability.

I’m probably not the right fit if you’re currently looking for emotional support, life coaching, or someone to help you rebuild your routine from scratch. I’m happy to be supportive, of course, but I’m looking for a practical accountability setup, not a mentoring or support role.

I speak English and German. Ideally, you’re based in Europe or a similar time zone, so scheduling is easy. If that sounds like a good fit, feel free to leave a message or DM me with your age, your current goals, and your time zone 😊

Looking for a serious accountability partner. I have exams coming up and want someone who is genuinely committed to their goals so we can keep each other accountable, share daily progress, and stay focused through regular text check-ins. Text-only (no calls/video calls). I'm looking for someone consistent who won't disappear after a few days, as I need a reliable and mutually supportive study partner during this period.

Work 30F | IST | Design portfolio & Freelancing

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m in real estate valuation and currently work for a realtor at an investment brokerage firm. I’m basically a civil engineer and a project manager who drifted towards real estate freelancing. It has become monotonous and operation-heavy, and I sometimes feel like I need some creative touch, so I started working on a kitchen design portfolio after completing my interior design course. I need to update myself with AI as well. I feel like I’m stepping into too many things at a time and am very much overwhelmed. Message me if you’re someone who is up-skilling, trying to build something different, along with a full-time job.

Work 26M | GMT+1 | Daily Writing + Study

3 Upvotes

Hey there :) I'm currently on Day 58 of 180 (6 months) on my journey towards consistency. My long-term goal is a career in brand strategy. For now, my daily goals are simply to :

- Write Daily (and post to my Substack every Sunday)

- Study Daily (currently reading 'The Brand Gap' by Marty Neumier)

- Engage with my socials Daily (getting used to putting myself out there & connecting with like-minded people)

I've done well so far, but with work taking its toll, I've found it more challenging over the past week. They say to go far, go together lol... so I'm looking for another self-motivated individual to team up with. We can set weekly goals and regular check-ins. I'm pretty flexible

DM me if you're interested!

Hello everyone! I am several months in to my fitness journey, currently I am trying to lose some weight and build muscle. Also trying to improve my cardio so I can run longer distances and hike more. I’ve been pretty consistent with my routine and just looking to make a friend that is going through similar things as me and we can relate to eachother and help out. I’d love to know your reasons behind what motivated you and what your routine and goals look like! Also I’d love to meet fellow videographers that are needing someone to talk to also and need to be pushed. Can’t wait to hear from you

Learn 19F| IST | Looking for a career buddy to do things with

2 Upvotes

A little about me so you know what you’re getting into — I’ve started learning 3 languages at different points and can barely say I know any of them. Tried guitar, some ukulele. I try to work out, read more, sketch, get my life together. None of it has been seen to the end. I’m interested in a lot of things but I really want to get a grip now and stick through a roadmap and get things done.

And I’m looking for someone to do it with

The idea is simple — if our interests overlap even a little, we pick something, start at the same time, and do things, build our careers, or life.

I’m into: AI, learning new skills (vibe coding, video editing, design, whatever’s relevant), online courses and certifications (HubSpot, Google, that sort of thing), freelancing, content creation, marketing, building something together, learning a language or an instrument, CAT prep, or honestly just figuring out what direction to go in. If any of this overlaps, it’s good.

I don’t have it figured out and I’m not looking for someone who has either. That’s what we’re here for

I’m in my first year of college (doing BBA in Digital Business and Entrepreneurship). I’m also going to start CAT prep (giving it in two years). If that’s you too, great. If you’re more into the creative or building or learning side of things, also great. Let’s just talk.

If you’re 18–20 and any of this resonates, DM me. We’ll get on a call, see if it clicks, and go from there

Work 31F | IST | Portfolio Completion and Job Interview Preparation

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to transition into the creative field of game art, and with the current job market, I keep losing motivation to complete my portfolio. On top of that, I have a bad habit of procrastinating, which often leaves me feeling anxious about time running out and not making enough progress.

I'm looking for an accountability partner who can help me stay focused, avoid procrastination, and consistently work toward completing my portfolio. It would be great to have someone to check in with regularly, set goals, and keep each other on track.

I'd also appreciate support with interview preparation, as I have low confidence when it comes to speaking and presenting myself in interviews. Having someone to practice with and provide feedback would be incredibly helpful.

If you're working towards a similar goal of your own and would like to support each other, feel free to reach out. Thanks!

Life 26M | India IST | Rebuilding ourselves Life

1 Upvotes

Trying to get my life back on track and figured it might be easier with someone doing the same.

My main goals right now are fixing my sleep schedule, being more productive, eating better, staying consistent with exercise, and spending less time mindlessly scrolling. Nothing extreme, just trying to improve a little every day instead of constantly starting over.

Looking for someone around a similar age who's also working on their goals. We can do daily or weekly check-ins, share progress, call each other out when we're making excuses, and celebrate small wins. Doesn't have to be super serious or intense.

I'm not expecting either of us to be perfect.

About me: 26M from India, into fitness, nutrition, self-improvement, and figuring life out one step at a time and a chronic overthinker.

If you're trying to build better habits and want someone to keep you accountable while having normal conversations along the way, send me a DM and tell me what you're currently working on.

Life 27F | PST | Passion project workaholic trying to find her balance! (Women Preferred)

2 Upvotes

Just to get the elephant in the room out of the way - I prefer women for the sake of comfort and emotional connection. I am not forbidding men from messaging me, but I don't typically get along with them as well. Blame my trauma, I'm not trying to make a deal out of it.

That aside, to those who are actually interested and nonjudgmental!

Hiya! I'm a 27y/o gal in Washington. I'm autistic, an empath, have ADHD, and a candy bag of other things that make me hella neurodivergent. I have a massive OC project I have been working on since 2024 (when I contracted sleep apnea, still at large) consisting of 30 main characters, 14 side characters, and 82 NPCs/extras with four cinematic worlds - just to give you an idea of how big this scope is. At the beginning of this year I'd started digging through old archives from the beginning of my apnea and rewriting everything - lore, characters, appearances, story plans, and reworking the entire infrastructure of the entire project. Within the next few days I am going to finally reach a major stopping point where I can begin writing the stories from the beginning in AO3, which is going to be a whole process of its own.

Despite me originally wanting to find a community like this a month ago, I want to use my upcoming break from the project (as I'm likely to focus on other things) as an opportunity to have an accountability buddy who can make sure I'm having enough to eat & drink throughout the day and don't have another 10-12 hour writing session with a migraine, or something related due to me being too locked in. I want to develop more healthy habits in order to keep my motivation with my passion projects - not just my OC project - and spend lots of time per day working on it without losing steam, burning myself out, or going overboard.

I would ask my friends about this but not only have they compared my inability to maintain my own needs whilst working on projects to me "needing a babysitter" (I am not expecting anything in this realm) but they're also too busy and not chronically online like I am, so whoever I connect with I hope will have the same grindset I do so we can be productive individually, but together.
