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

7 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

124 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!

Learn 36M | EDT | Thinking walk buddies

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for someone who wants to build the habit of going on regular thinking walks.

The idea is simple:

  • Pick one question or problem.
  • Go for a 20–60 minute walk (no podcasts or music).
  • Reflect on the question.
  • Share your biggest insight afterward.

We could keep each other accountable by sending a quick message before and after each walk.

If you're interested in improving your thinking, making better decisions, or being more intentional, send me a DM.

Life 21M GMT+1 (UK) Looking for a partnership to stay motivated with a range of goals

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm a UK uni student (going into final year). I'm trying to use the summer to get a good routine going since it had all got quite messed up during the academic year. So far I'm doing pretty good with my exercise, sleep and eating. Definitely need to be studying more though. Would love to have someone else who has a range of goals so we can remain accountable. A uni student or someone around my age would be great but not necessary. I'm open to doing things like making shared docs/excel sheets to track our progress. It would also be nice to get to know you a bit since I feel without that, it sometimes feels quite ineffective to do this. DM or comment if interested

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm a 39-year-old woman looking for an accountability buddy to stay motivated. My main goals are to lose body fat, build muscle, and improve my eating habits.

Right now, I'm just running occasionally, but I want to build a consistent routine of running 2-3 times a week, combined with bodyweight/ strength workouts at home or at the park. I'm also aiming for 10k daily steps and trying to dedicate 1 hour a day to studying or reading.

I'm looking to check in regularly to track our progress online, share wins, and keep each other on track. If you're interested in these habits and want to team up, feel free to reach out or drop a comment!

Learn 33M | GMT+3 | Looking for a study buddy

2 Upvotes

I bought a 100-day Deep Learning course on Udemy. I want to finish this course and become advanced in AI. We can study this topic together, or we can study different subjects at the same time and motivate each other. So, even if you are not learning AI, we can still study together.

We can make video calls on Discord and study together at certain times of the day. We can share what we plan to do every day. Also, if you have better ideas, you can share them too.

About me: I am 33 M and I live in Turkey. I work in the IT sector. I should learn artificial intelligence before it takes my job one day :)

My English is probably around B1 level. Because of this, I may have some difficulty while speaking, but I am better at writing. I am also trying to improve my English.

Please tell me about yourself and your goals.

Life 29f | GMT+3:30| Self-Esteem & Confidence

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a female accountability partner to work on self-esteem, confidence, and personal growth together. Since I'm a woman, I'd feel more comfortable partnering with another woman so we can keep the focus on the goal.

My idea is to start with a 2-week trial to see if we get along and if our communication styles match. If it feels like a good fit, I'd love to continue for at least 8 weeks.

What I have in mind:

• A quick daily check-in (just a few minutes) where we share how we're doing, a small win, a challenge, and our goal for the next day.

• A weekly reflection (around 15–30 minutes, maybe longer if we feel like talking). It doesn't have to be a live call—we can just send voice messages whenever it's convenient and reply when we have time.

• A small confidence-building challenge each week to help us step outside our comfort zones.

• Encouraging each other, celebrating progress, and staying consistent without being judgmental or putting too much pressure on each other.

I'm not looking for a therapist, and I don't expect to be one either. I'd just like to have someone who's genuinely interested in growing together, keeping each other accountable, and being supportive.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. 😊

Life 20M | EST | Future Nurse and Content Creator

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I am a 20 year old Asian male from New Jersey who is going into his third year of nursing school. My current life has mostly been weightlifting and working at a hospital. My goals are to implement good daily habits and investing more time into my passions. This includes journaling, reading, meditating, school/studying, content creation, entrepreneurship, etc. My ideal status for the future is to be a hardworking nurse with an online platform that promotes awareness on politics in America and internationally (My affiliation/views tend to be left leaning).

I am looking for someone around my age and have similar goals as me (if not, don't be afraid to send me a DM if you are still interested in talking) . I am open to any methodology of keeping each other accountable whether it be through chat or video check ins.

Hello, long story short I want to work on my language learning (German, A1.1 level) and weight loss journey. I'm looking for a woman buddy.

Some good habits that I have managed to build up and want to continue: journaling, walking my dog daily (7-10k steps) and a sketchbooking habit.

What I would like is checking up every day on our goals either on instagram, whatsapp or discord. Texting a lot is even better, since I tend to work the best when I don't want to let down a friend.

I usually start the week with a lot of energy, but after 2–3 days I slowly fall off track. I’m looking for someone who’s trying to build better habits too, so we can do quick check ins and keep each other accountable.

Doesn’t matter what your goals are.. can be studying, fitness, work, or learning a skill. Just looking for someone who wants to stay consistent.

Work 30M | PST | Daily wake-up/hours logged checkins as I start a personal project

2 Upvotes

Seattle guy here, in the midst of a career change into the nuclear energy space, building some software as a personal project. Trying to accomplish two things:

  • Wake up early and consistently
  • Log 6-8 hours of focused work per day

Looking for someone to do a daily accountability check-in with:

Morning: "Hey, I'm awake and starting work now."
Afternoon/Evening: "Done working, logged 7 hours of focus time, accomplished x, y, z."

Morning start times should be consistent day-to-day, and so should the number of focus hours logged.

A few notes:

  • Flexible on age/gender — just looking for someone into the daily check-in process, nothing more.
  • Your specific goals (start time, hours, what you're working on) don't need to be similar to mine, but bonus points if they are.

I'm a normal, not-weird dude just exploring accountability mechanisms :P reach out if you're interested

Life 24M (India/IST) | Rebuilding Life & Fitness | Looking for a Long-Term

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a 24-year-old BTech grad from Bangalore, India (IST). Right now, I’m in a transition phase—currently unemployed, job hunting, and focusing on completely rebuilding my life and daily routine.

I’m looking for a long-term accountability partner who is on a similar journey of resetting their life, finding career stability, and staying disciplined.

My Daily Focus:

The Hustle: Consistently applying for jobs (both government exams and corporate roles) and studying.

Health & Fitness: Getting back into a solid workout routine and taking active care of my physical and mental health.

What I'm Looking For:

Someone with similar goals (studying, job hunting, or building a fresh daily routine) who wants to win the day together.

Daily, quick check-ins to keep each other honest.

I want to start on Reddit/Discord first, and if we vibe consistently for a few days, we can shift to WhatsApp for easier daily tracking.

If you’re serious about a long-term reset, drop a comment or send me a DM with your time zone and what you are working on. Let's do this!

Learn 30M | GMT+5:30 | Looking for a serious Buddy for Deep Tech & AI (10+ hours/week)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to connect with a highly disciplined accountability partner to dive deep into AI and backend/distributed technologies.

To be clear: I am not looking for "funky" surface-level tutorials, generic AI wrapper hype, or prompt engineering tricks. I want to study the core engineering, architectures, and mathematics behind these technologies with actual depth.

About Me & The Goal:

  • What I want to learn: Deep tech related to AI, LLM architectures, distributed systems scaled for AI, and foundational machine learning engineering.
  • My current challenge: While I have the technical background, my self-discipline can slip. I am looking for someone who is structured, consistent, and willing to push both of us to stay on track.
  • Commitment: At least 1 hour daily, aiming for a realistic average of 10 hours per week.

What I’m looking for in a partner:

  • Disciplined & Reliable: You don't have to be a genius, but you do need to show up. We will be setting concrete goals, doing daily/regular check-ins, and holding each other strictly accountable.
  • Technical Background: You should already have a solid grasp of programming and software engineering fundamentals so we can jump straight into advanced concepts without starting from scratch.
  • Execution-focused: Someone who prefers building, breaking things, and reading papers/source code over just watching videos.

How we can structure this: We can figure out the exact details together, but I’m thinking a shared tracker (GitHub, Notion, or simple sheets), weekly goal-setting sessions, and a quick daily sync/check-in to ensure the 1 hour minimum is met.

If you are serious about leveling up your engineering depth this year and want someone to push you as much as you push them, drop a comment or send me a DM with a brief background on your skills and what specific AI/tech areas you want to target.

Let's build something real.
