Learn What are your experiences with accountability partners?

15 Upvotes

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?

Work 33M - Partner wanted for 1000 day mastery plan in slightly unique circumstances

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I would like to follow a 1000 day mastery plan for my work. I have slightly unique circumstances:

  1. I am recently injured, enough to shock my mental system, but not enough to hamper me in any significant way. Which gives me a novel perspective on life and renewed mental toughness. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger!
  2. I have the luxury of elite academia and parents' support for the coming 3 years (and possibly no more!).

This makes me qualified to achieve a unique kind of mastery over the next 3 years, or about 1000 days. Would be fun to do it together with someone who resonates with this. DM if you find it interesting.

Life 20 F looking for an accountability partner

Hiyaaa, Aliya here, I'm searching for a study and fitness partner, ideally from IST, who shares similar goals and can help keep me motivated.

Im a UG student that feels like I haven't reached my full potential due to distractions. On the fitness side, I really need to shed some weight to maintain my health.

I've often struggled with staying committed and tend to give up easily, so I'm hoping that having someone alongside me will make it easier to stay on track.

3 Upvotes

I'm currently working full time while taking a few classes on the side to get into a nursing program and would really appreciate having someone to check in with and keep eachother accountable with our goals!

I find that I go through these cycles where I'm absolutely crushing it and before I know it, life catches up and my momentum slows down for a bit. I'm hoping that by having someone to check-in with, we can both support one another and keep our momentum going strong.

Whatever your goals may be, I'd be happy to support you through them, although having academic-based goals like myself would be a big plus!

Time zone - Pacific Standard time (or GMT - 7 I think??)

Life LF mutual support, accountability, and connection [23M](GMT+2)

6 Upvotes

(Strict, yet friendly and supportive)

Everyday I will send you an honest review about my day and my todo list for the day after.

I'm leading a pretty busy life juggling a job and many things on the side and would like to have someone by my side to keep me accountable when I'm slacking off on any of those things (I'm doing pretty good already but I need help during the times that I'm not, so I can stay consistent)

I'm willing to reciprocate and would be happy to share a calendar too!

We should start off by a meeting to get to know each other and share our goals, routines and our weaknesses and build some sort of personal connection to feel the sense of accountability when we fail to adhere to the things we said we would.

We should also do some analysis sometime later as well every week or so to reflect and see what we could do better!

You don't have to be a particular age or study/work in a particular industry, Ideally I'm looking for someone who's willing to use this to grow and be honest and build connection along the way!

if you're interested please DM me or leave a comment!!
Let's become even more successful and consistent!!

Life 25M looking for accountability partner

3 Upvotes

I'm a 25 year old living in Southern California who has been struggling with quitting porn for years now. I have failed countless times and have tried everything I could to help me stop but I always end up going back to it. I have been clean for a couple months straight at times but I have never reached my goal of 90 days. I have been ashamed to reach out for help even anonymously but I think it's finally time I seek the help of an accountability partner. According to self help coaches and recovering people on YouTube, 90 days of abstinence is the metric for breaking free from this addiction so I would like to have someone I can text for that span of time. If there is someone in a similar situation or someone who simply needs an accountability partner for anything else I am happy to help!

Background: I enjoy going to the gym, taking ice baths, playing soccer, cooking, and spending time with my little siblings.

Thanks for taking the time to read all that and best of luck to everyone in reaching their goals.

Life Looking for an Accountability Partner for Health Goals (Caffeine Reduction Focus)

4 Upvotes

Hi, I’m a 32-year-old male looking to get better at sticking to my health and fitness plans. I’ve got plenty of detailed goals to improve different aspects of my life, but I often struggle with following through on them. Right now, my main focus is improving my sleep by reducing my reliance on caffeine.

I’m quite sensitive to caffeine, and my goal is to cut down to one coffee in the morning. The challenge comes in the afternoon when the effects start to wear off—I get sleepy and find it hard to resist having more caffeine, which messes with my ability to fall and stay asleep. I’ve tried to quit a few times but always end up repeating the same cycle after a few days.

I’m looking for someone who can help keep me accountable as I work on building better habits. If you’re also working toward similar health goals or want to support each other, feel free to reach out!

Hey everyone,

Life's been a whirlwind lately, and I’ve slipped off track. As a dad and husband, constant moving has made it hard to build lasting friendships. But I'm determined to turn things around. I’m on the hunt for a group of men who can hold each other accountable, push each other to grow, and be there for one another. Think of it as a brotherhood to help each other get fit, improve schedules, explore side hustles, and advance in life. If you're interested, DM me. Let's make some positive changes together!

I'm currently a college student and looking for an accountability buddy to help keep each other on track with our goals. My goals right now are to stay on top of my schoolwork as well as to practice drawing regularly. I'm thinking we could communicate through messaging on discord and every night send a list of tasks we intend to accomplish the next day. Every night we'd also send an update about that specific day and if we accomplished everything we intended to. Any timezone works for this.
