Anyone want to be accountability buddies (lemmy.world)

I'm so overwhelmed with all the stuff I have to do and also don't have accountability at work and it's making it worse. Anyone want to be accountability buddies? Spend a moment every week getting to know each other enough to hold each other accountable and maybe send the occasional uplifting message?

There's some pretty good ADHD discords out there with accountability groups like this

I heard about a service that might help: https://www.focusmate.com/

I haven't used it, but I've thought hard about doing so.

I have fibro and do this with a friend that also has it. On bad days, we message each other with small goals, just to get out of bed and make a cup of tea/coffee. A few hours later, we message again and ask how far the other has gotten. Washed the dishes? Okay, took a nap on the couch? That's okay too. Tomorrow is another day. It really helps us.

Maybe you can ask your best friend or colleague to do the same?

How's it going? You find any buddies?

Sort of. There is body doubling on the ADHD discord but I really need like someone to check in every week make sure I'm getting stuff done so it's only partially helpful.
