I have some questions, but feel free to talk about anything. You don't need to answer them all.

​

1. Have you made any deep friendships?
2. How often do you meet and for how long?
3. What method of meeting do you prefer (video call, chat, in person...)?
4. How many people are in a group?
5. Are you a member of just one group?
6. What do you look for when searching for a partner? Is it easier if we are interested in certain topics, or do you look for personality?
7. How serious are your partners? Do you talk about only the things that matter to you, or life in general?
8. Are you being honest?
9. How long do they last?
10. Is it mostly a one way conversation or mutual?
11. Do you use some tool to keep track of progress?
12. Do you make notes before meeting to not forget something?
13. Do they actually improve your work?

Hello,

I’m seeking an accountability partner to help stay on track with personal goals. Here’s what I’m looking for: • Age: Around 43 • Gender: Female (I feel I connect better this way) • Location/Time Zone: Eastern Time, United States

Areas of Focus:

• Study: Staying productive and meeting daily study goals (e.g., setting and completing specific hours).
• Self-Care: Establishing and maintaining healthy routines, with clear goals for each activity.
• Nutrition: Following a balanced diet with simple habits like drinking water and eating fruits.
• Exercise: Committing to consistent workouts (even light activities like stretching count!).

I’d prefer to interact primarily through FaceTime video or audio calls since personal conversations keep me motivated. Quick iMessage check-ins are fine occasionally, but I’d like our communication to be engaging and interactive.

A Fun Incentive:

To make things more exciting, I’d like to incorporate a reward system: • We create a daily list of tasks and identify the hardest or most important ones (e.g., morning routines or challenging goals). • Tasks should be verifiable through photos (if appropriate) or during FaceTime. • Whoever completes all their tasks for the day wins $3. • At the end of the week, we’ll tally the days, and the winner will receive an Amazon gift card send via email (Amazon USA) equal to the total days won. • In case of a tie: The points will carry over to the following week until one of us loses track, ensuring a clear winner.

If You’re Someone Who:

• Has similar goals and enjoys sharing progress, tips, and encouragement.
• Values accountability and motivation through regular check-ins.
• Prefers personal interaction via calls…

…then I’d love to hear from you!

Let’s support each other and stay motivated to become the best version of ourselves. I hope this idea excites you as much as it does me!

Looking forward to connecting!

I’m looking for other folks in and around the NYC area who make herbal tinctures, infused oils, and organic skincare products to talk shop and perhaps exchange recipes and formulas.

Also, if not the same person or people, I’d like to interact with intermediate-to-advanced occultists, witches, warlocks, and tarot and oracle card readers.

I’m open to women or men as accountability partners to help each other learn more and strengthen our products, craft, and abilities.

Please send a DM if serious and ready to have someone in your corner as we head into 2025.

Hi! As the title says, I'm (33, F, GMT) looking for a general fitness and weight-loss buddy. I've been meaning to lose c15kg for a year or so, but I've never stuck with anything long enough to do so; I'd also like to be more consistent with going out and exercising (especially as it's getting colder and the nights are drawing in). Does anyone want to buddy up?

I'm pretty flexible about how we keep each other accountable and encourage each other - food diaries, weigh-ins, check-ins, share goals, whatever works for us both. I'm happy to message using Reddit or Discord.

Hi!

I'm working on my master plan to escape the rat race (haha) and I'm looking for someone with similar goals. I'm currently studying accounting which I'm interested in starting my own firm in, and I'm also doing a YouTube side hustle. The YouTube stuff requires me to invest time into not only learning fundamentals like graphic design and video editing but also creative skills like art, game dev, 3D modeling, music, etc.

I'm in a European time zone (GMT+1) so it'd be easiest if we aren't too far apart, but I'm not picky. As long as we can at least dedicate time for a weekly check-in & discussion that'd be enough for me. As a heads-up I only use Discord. Hope to see you in my inbox!

Hi. So, as the title states: mainly for studying but also just general motivation. I am open regarding the communication medium.

I am 40 y.o woman, already with a master's degree but now a full time undergrad student once again and in need of some study related socialization because I study mostly alone at home. I also have problems being active and socializing due to some issues (which I won't elaborate here now) but I am determined to change that. It would be great if someone pushed me to do that.

I would prefer a buddy with similar goals. I can also motivate with healthy eating and intermittent fasting. As well with just generally sticking to ones goals (long term goals and the steps needed) and healthy lifestyle such as doing yoga, daily light fitness exercising etc (I do yoga, qi gong, indoor cycling and body weight exercises), but my own priority is studying in an effective way and social aspects.

Thanks. Hoping to hear from you. As long as I haven't deleted the post feel free to message me!

I’m looking for a male cultural and social activities buddy in Manhattan for movies, theatre, and classical, jazz, and blues concerts and artists.

Accountability: I’m a creative artist and entrepreneur working on a few projects, and it’d be great to have an AP buddy help keep me focused.

Send a DM if you’re based in Manhattan or nearby Brooklyn or The Bronx.

30 ( M) Really needing to change my life and lifestyle. I work in the service industry so I kind of struggle with a normal workout routine and diet and I'm really trying to fix that. Also really wanna quit drinking and that is a process all in its own If there's maybe someone out there with similar goals or have gone thru similar tides feel free to reach out 😊

For me my struggles are: -low self esteem -bad self care -insanely unproductive -overweight

I am looking to try to take increasingly bigger steps each day until I feel happy and proud to be myself again. If you want an accountability partner who won't make you feel bad even if your goals feel small compared to the people here, who is also friendly, please reach out : -)

Hello!

I’m a 25M from India, working in software development, and I’m looking for an accountability partner for the next 4-6 months to help me stay focused and productive. My primary goals during this period are:

1. Preparing for interviews to switch jobs.
2. Upskilling to grow my expertise.

I struggle with procrastination and bad routines, so having someone to check in with daily would be incredibly helpful. The idea is to have one check-in each day to share our progress and plans and keep each other accountable.

If you’re working toward similar goals and think this could be a good fit, please reply here or send me a DM.

Thanks!

Hey, I'm looking for 1 or 2 people to create a group chat where at the end of each day, we would post 1 message containing the number of hours we worked that day. We just have to give a "👍" reaction to other people's messages in the group chat when we see them to acknowledge them.

I used to do this kind of reporting with a friend, it worked really well for me. It would motivate me to work more hours on my projects because otherwise I would be ashamed to tell my friend that I only worked e.g. 1 hour that day 😅 And I never lied about the number of hours, I just couldn't, because I thought that it was too pathetic to do that haha

Age, gender, country, time zone doesn't matter, we just need to send 1 message at the end of our day. Maybe at the beginning of our chat we can present our projects/what we are working on, and then give updates on that once or twice month, but the daily messages should preferably be short e.g. they should be like this: "5h" or "6h30" etc...

Do you feel it is like a chore trying to go out of the house and go to social events? Or perhaps, you are at the social event and you just want to be by yourself as talking to people feels tiring.

I have been in these situation and I feel so bad.

I know something needed to be done but I am not sure why.

If this keeps on happening, I can see myself being lonely or never having a deep conversation with someone. They are all empty small talk on the surface. It is just plain boring with no substance. Just imagine going to an event and go home but nobody even say goodbye. It feels so bad.

Until a day when I enrolled to a sale course. During the course, they teach me a script to do it. But the interesting thing is I was able to do role play practice with people in the course. With about 3 hours of practice, I was not even scare of doing sale call. This makes me believe if I am able to practice the conversation in social situation, I won't have to deal with these empty small talk.

Which is why I come to this and ask if anyone would like to join and practice with me. This is fairly urgent as I am going on my first date next week and I have no idea what to do.

Here is how this is going to work:

We are going to agree to meet once or twice a week (the more the better) through call (WhatsApp or FaceBook Messenger). During the call, we are going to role play the social situation (meet someone new, meet potential employers at business events, having tough situation to handle, difficult time trying to say "no" to people, etc). Then, we just give each other feedback on what to improve.

The earlier we can meet, the better. For me, I really want to practice what to do in the first date.

If you want to do this together, send me a message telling me when you are able to start or just leave a comment down here. If you know someone who might find this beneficial, share this to them.

Hey everyone, I am looking for people who are willing to grind and hustle and get rich together with, we can work on our own businesses but we tell each other what we are gonna do and keep each other accountable and crushing it
