Paid Accountability Group

Inspired by a couple friends who are building in public on Twitter, I'm running a small paid accountability group.

I'm looking for 5 folks who want to make daily progress towards something over 30 days.

Rules:

  • post 1 update per day
  • never miss a day? full refund
  • missed day = refund - $1

Available seats: 5

No Zero Days

The purpose is to encourage you to make progress each day (regardless of how much time you put in). I hope this will help people find a system or habit that helps them move a project or goal forward.

Missed Day = -$1

If you forget to post an update during the 30-day period, it will cost you $1. By the end, we'll count your missed days and subtract that from the $30 and you'll get refunded that amount.

i.e. $30 - (5 missed days * $1) = $25 refund

Tracking Updates

Updates have to be posted to the group at least once per day. We'll keep track of everyone's updates in a Google spreadsheet that will be viewable with a link.

Telegram Group

We'll use a private Telegram group for this. I like Telegram because:

  • it's free
  • cross-platform (web, desktop, mobile)
  • simple
  • less noisy than Slack/Discord for small things

Start Date

We'll start on Monday, May 10th and go until June 9th.

Refunds will be sent on June 10th.

Limited Seats

There are only 5 seats available for the first round so sign up quick.

FAQ

What if I go on vacation or need a rest day?

Go for it! Time off is important. The only rule is to post an update.

For that day you might say:

  • "Taking the day off to rest"
  • "Vacation day with family/friends"

Why do I have to pay upfront?

Money is out there and you're more incentivized to get it back vs. getting charged after the fact (which means you could quit or cancel halfway through).

Why are you doing this?

I want to surround myself with other folks who are making daily progress towards a project or goal. For me, that will mean working on my TypeScript course.
