Looking for third person for daily motivation checkins 8AM Eastern Time

I am looking for a third person to join our group for doing daily checkins to help keep motivated. We meet on Zoom at 8AM Eastern time. Our current format is to share our three rocks that we plan to accomplish, then text each other a mid day report and end of day report. You can also share or text anything else you find useful and request support from each other in other ways.

I'll consider it. I'm also in the Eastern time zone.

I did this sort of check-in when I enrolled in an ADHD coaching program, but admit that I was the least consistent person in my accountability group.

I do need help with my motivation getting things done, though.

I am REALLY interested, but I'm feeling doubt over whether I can commit to it, as much as I need an accountability group.

An 8am check-in would really help me, because I had had a consistent difficulty getting to work by 8am.

But if I know I have a check-in that I will miss if I'm late, then I think it will help motivate me to be on time. And I've been picking and choosing work the I feel like doing at the time, instead of planning my work.

I'll respond later today.

Maybe a penalty would help - give to charity if you are late or push ups or do the "chicken dance"...

Clever, but I'm gonna have to pass on it this time around.

Hi! I am interested in learning more about this. How long is the meeting? Some days I choose 1 “rock” would this work for your group? Thank you for the additional info!

Yes, one rock is great! We never go over 15 minutes, usually 5 minutes.

The above group is also known as an accountability group - just saying so when others search.

Wow, this sounds awesome, I need something like this or some kind of kick in the butt to get me more productive. I'm around your age too but still worki g & like to stay active. My schedule is flexible, 8:00 a.m. would work for me. I'll shoot you a PM.

Hi Ethan, I originally responded weeks ago but then had a major loss in my family. A death. I am Interstate for the 8am ET phone call. Please respond to my email marylumainville@gmail.com. I’d love to get started this week.

Best,

Mary
