Life Gauging interest — free GetMotivated.ai access in exchange for a weekly survey

8 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

128 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!

I am looking for someone to share with my progress in:

-learning math for my finals (in the form of a photo of my notes from studying with date)

-learning ancient greek (photo of notes with date)

-exercise routine (screenshot from an app after completion)

-ear training (screenshot of an dedicated app time of usage, I aim for 30 minutes)

I know it looks like a lot but its basically just a few photos a day

Hi! I am looking for an accountability partner for a journey of improvement - starting with weight loss/body recomp. Preferably female, and around my age range. I’d like to check in a few times a week, and keep each other on track! Also would love to just make a friend to talk to 🥹

I struggle a lot with binging, and so having someone I can message when that starts happening I feel would help a lot. That and consistency, but I feel like I’ve gained some new wisdom 🌀 and will be able to hold myself more accountable, also with the help of someone out thereee. And I’ll do the same for you!

I want to lose around 15KG and get more toned. I feel like it’s a good jumping off point for me, but eventually I want to focus on other self improvement goals too.

Looking for a Female Accountability Partner: Exam Prep & Casual Chats 💫

Study Style: I am looking for someone to do daily check ins 🍀
Communication: I don’t mind any communication platform to make the check ins 🌷

I’ve been on a weight loss journey for over a year and successfully lost 50 lbs.

I’m hitting a slump and have put some weight back on. I’m struggling to stay on track and was looking for another individual who was interested in fitness and diet and willing to share their knowledge as well as keep me accountable to stay on track.

I can help motivate and hold others accountable for their goals as well once said goals are specified.

I do hold a demanding job and may have lulls in communication during working hours so flexible individuals are needed.

Life 26M | IST | Looking for 1-2 long-term accountability buddies

1 Upvotes

i've realized that i don't really have a motivation problem.

my problem is consistency.

i'll have an amazing week where i wake up on time, go to the gym, study, eat well, and feel like i'm finally getting my life together.

then i'll miss one day.

one day turns into a week, and suddenly i'm back to saying, "i'll start again on monday."

i'm done repeating that cycle.

right now i'm trying to build a routine that actually lasts. my main goals are:

  • fixing my sleep schedule
  • going to the gym 4-5 times a week
  • studying every day
  • reading more
  • spending less time doomscrolling
  • becoming more disciplined overall

i'm looking for 1-2 people who are serious about improving their lives too.

my idea is simple:

  • quick daily check-ins (5-10 minutes)
  • sharing our goals for the day
  • checking in on what we actually completed
  • doing focus sessions together whenever we're both free (study, work, reading, etc.)
  • calling each other out when we're making excuses
  • celebrating the small wins instead of chasing perfection

about me:

  • 26m from india (ist)
  • into fitness, self-improvement, psychology, productivity, and learning
  • i don't expect perfection. i just want someone who actually replies and sticks around.

if you're tired of starting over and want someone to help you stay accountable, send me a dm and tell me what you're working on.

let's make this the time we actually stay consistent.

Hi! I’m a 20F college student from India looking for a partner.

I’m trying to start small instead of changing everything at once. For now, I want to focus on just two habits:

Morning: Walk/exercise/stretch and stay consistent.

Evening: Spend some time researching/learning — reading research papers, journals, exploring topics, etc.

I’m looking for someone who is reliable and genuinely accountable. We can tell each other our plan for the day and check in afterwards. I’ll hold you accountable too!

We don’t need to have the same goals. If we both become consistent, maybe in the future we could even work on a research topic together or publish something. But for now, I just want to build these two habits first .

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, feel free to DM me. :)

Work 47M | PST | Min. 2x Daily check-ins for motivation / staying on task — Work

1 Upvotes

Developer / programmer climbing out the other side of burnout / depression, and looking to find someone to help me stay motivated and on-task while WFH. Not sure on exact format, but thinking I'd like something like (at minimum) check-ins twice a day (start of day and either mid day or end-of-day). Open to more frequent or even something like body doubling.

Note: Scanning the posts, I realize I'm definitely on the older side of the spectrum here, so I'm open to a wider age gap, but note that I'm also somewhat behind on my professional career compared to most people my age, because I didn't really start working in my current profession until ~30.

It will be good if I find a gym buddy we can motivate each other and track our progress, I don't mind making friends too, I like to play games so we can have fun away from the gym life too.

Hi all! I’m late-diagnosed with ADHD and have been so burnt out with my corporate job that I plan to quit soon. I’m feeling super lost and am really looking for someone who’s interested and serious about reaching any kind of life goals. I haven’t specifically formulated mines yet, but ideally what I’m looking for:

• Similar age people in PST or EST
• Daily check ins on to do lists, goals for the day etc.
• Potential video co-working sessions
• Discussions and feedback about life goals including ways to support and encourage each other
• Open to challenges or other formats of accountability

In exchange, I would happily do the same for you. If anyone has specific fitness goals, I’m also happy to provide coaching and advice as I’ve been a bit involved in the pro bodybuilding community for a bit and love health and fitness!

If you’re interested, please hit me up and let me know your goals!

My Goals & Plan:

Hi, im Choco!

I’m 5’1, started at 136lb and am now 118lb! I’ve been on a weight loss journey for around a year but only started taking calorie deficit seriously three months ago. As a short woman chipping away at fat takes a ridiculous amount of discipline. I’m in the “skinny fat” phase right now and I want to get more toned.

I’ve incorporated more movement with simple things like walking instead of taking the bus. I’ve dabbled into cardio exercises like at home with just a yoga mat or running but I haven’t been consistent at all.

I’m not sure if anyone else is also in a similar phase but I would love to have someone to hold me accountable and vice versa and to just talk about our weight loss journeys!

2 Upvotes

3rd year CS student (VIT Vellore), doing research work in quantum ML and dabbling in computational physics on the side. R&D core member of my college’s AI/ML club.

Right now I’m juggling a few things — research, coursework, and trying to get a remote internship or freelance work going to hit a small monthly income goal. I’ve got a couple of side projects done (a scheduling app, some ESP32/IoT builds, a hackathon AI project) but I work better with someone to check in with regularly than completely solo.

Looking for someone similarly stacked — student or early-career, working on their own research/project/hustle — who wants a low-drama accountability setup: weekly check-ins, honest pushback when one of us is slacking, maybe swap notes on internship/freelance leads. Not looking for a hype-man, looking for someone who’ll actually call out when a plan isn’t working.

I'm looking to exchange async check-ins, reminders and messages like 'Please do it today or tomorrow'. I'd like a human to do this with who I try to avoid disappointing, which I think works better than an automatic or machine reminder. I've done this before, and I managed to keep up with my targets and rarely had to say I didn't do it (but sometimes it happened!)

I completed a 5K run training prgramme recently, and want to continue, to enable me to join in with running groups and longer scenic adventures.

Goals are endurance and looking good.

Life 27F | AST | Daily check-ins for basic habits (self-care, etc.)

3 Upvotes

Hey! Looking for an accountability partner for quick daily check-ins. My goal right now is to stick to a handful of basic (and admittedly quite boring) daily habits. I do plan to level things up in the near future though (work-out/studies/personal projects), but for now I'll just focuse on building and mantaining a good fundation.

Here's an example of how we could do it:

I use a habit-tracker app, so each day I could just take a couple screenshots to show my progress/results. Then you could simply confirm you've seen them by giving a thumbs up (or a thumbs down if deserved, haha) or leave a one-sentence comment.

Feel free to share your own progress/results your own way. No need to use any app. And, of course, your goals can be different from mine.

Let's be there for each other! Let's get serious for once! Let's commit!
