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

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

Health & Fitness 25M, EST, grad school apps + gym consistency

1 Upvotes

TL;DR: Twice a week check-ins about applications and gym sessions, for two months until the end of the year.

No one else in my life is going through this process right now, and I'd love to talk to someone else about our timelines, key checkpoints, and progress on applications for grad school. In addition, I want to push myself to be at the gym more than once a week, no matter how tired I am !!

Not sure how this works but I'd love to try it out. I'd be down to call very briefly twice a week, ideally Monday & Friday. Not to discuss every minute detail, but rather our goals and work patterns!

Excited to see if anyone responds!

2 Upvotes

Looking for an accountability partner to master the basics together.

I have tried everything to help me do my day-to-day stuff (study, work out, learn new languages, hobbies, and even keeping up with basic hygiene 😭) and nothing seems to work.

I feel like I'm stuck in a hole that I can't escape. I’m even starting to get comfortable here, but I really want to change for real.

A few things about me and what I'm looking for:

• Language: English isn't my first language, so I would love to practice it with you if possible!

• Communication: I prefer calls, but since I am in college most of the time, I can do a lot of texting too.

• Commitment: I need someone who will really stick with me—at least until both of us can successfully build these habits into our routines alone😭🙏

Hi everyone!

I'm a 36-year-old university lecturer and researcher looking for an accountability partner around my age or older.

I have a demanding job, and I'm trying to build a better balance between work, fitness, hobbies, and personal wellbeing.

I'm not really looking for study sessions or silent body doubling. I'd love to find someone to exchange regular check-ins with, encourage each other to go to the gym, stay active, make time for ourselves, and celebrate small wins.

Ideally, someone who also works full-time, understands busy schedules, and wants mutual support without turning everything into another stressful obligation.

Feel free to message me if this sounds like something you'd enjoy!

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.

Health & Fitness 40M | GMT | UK | Fitness and work buddy

1 Upvotes

Hey,

Looking for either 1 or 2 people to help with my fitness accountability and work performance or habit improvement.

I have lost around 20kg( currently at 105kg) since start of year, but no muscle gained.

Would like someone who would be willing to keep me accoubtable and stick to plan. I'm not too familiar with workout routines or dieting.

My current plan is to attend gym ever day.

7 mornings a week for yoga after which a cardio on treadmill or stepper alternating every 2nd day for endurance.

4-6 days a week for strength training. Each day split for different muscles. For example arms and shoulders, legs, chest, back.

Yes it sounds a lot, but i have no major responsibilities besides work. Of course ready to take it down a notch if it's too much.

Nutrition wise i'm meal prepping for full week approximately 2600kcal a day. But i have been slipping and eating junk or overeating calories in sugary or fatty foods which has caused me to stay at same weight and slowly gain back some weight.

I have anterior pelvic tilt which doesn't help so hoping that having a partner will help with keeping to the plan and seeing results by summer 2027.

Work wise would want someone or same person to help keep me working instead of procrastinating. To help plan my day and stick to those plans and stay focused on task at hand.

I'm working with data and therefore my job is not physically demanding, but is a drain mentally.

Happy to get in contact with someone willing to help and ready to accept same if i can help. Contact via DM or other way if we agree on things.

Would start on 02/11.

TL;DR

Looking for fitness buddy 7 days a week and work buddy 5 days a week. 1 for both or 2 people for each separately.

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.

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.

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.

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.
