This Works Because It’s Me. A Real Human.
There’s no app. No automation. No AI chatbot.
Just me — a real person, messaging you every day, making sure you do what you said you’d do.
You tell me your goal — gym, language, whatever.
You tell me when you plan to do it.
Then I check in before, and follow up after.
No algorithms. No smart reminders. Just someone who actually checks if you followed through — because I give a shit.
– 2–3 messages a day, sent by me
– Pre-task nudges (“Are you on your way to the gym?”)
– Post-task accountability (“How was it?”)
– €25/week. Cancel anytime.
– EU time zone only — I won’t text at 3AM (unless that’s part of the deal)
Things I’ll Make Sure You Actually Do
What happens if you ghost?
- Don’t answer? I ask again.
- Still nothing? I follow up harder.
- Still nothing? I switch channels.
- At that point, we need to have a chat. Are we going to reset or cancel? up to you.
Not for Everyone. Just the Ones Who Are Sick of Their Own Excuses.
This only works if you’re ready to be called out — gently, persistently, and sometimes with voice memos.
You won’t like me at first. That’s kind of the point.
Why This Actually Works (Science)
- Social Accountability – Knowing a real person will ask for proof taps your brain’s social-norm wiring. In studies, behaviour tracked by another human is 2-3× more likely to happen than when you rely on an app or self-promises.
- Implementation Intentions – You name the exact action (“gym at 7 pm”). Research shows committing to a when + what plan can double follow-through rates because the brain starts treating it like a scheduled appointment, not a vague wish.
- Immediate Feedback Loop – I message you right before and right after the task. Short feedback loops keep motivation high and prevent “I’ll make up for it tomorrow” thinking—a hallmark of procrastination.
- Small but Real Stakes – You’re paying, and someone is watching. That mix of financial skin-in-the-game and social cost triggers loss-aversion psychology: it feels worse to let it slide than to just do the thing.
- Positive Peer Pressure, Not Shame – The goal isn’t to bully; it’s to recreate the effect of a workout partner or study buddy. You still own the win, but you’re never alone in the grind.
Human Accountability vs Habit Apps
| Me (Real Human Accountability) | Habit / Reminder Apps | |
| What you get | Actual messages from me, written for your goal & schedule. | Generic notifications you learn to ignore. |
| Timing | I check before and after the time you said you’d do it. | Set reminder → snooze → nothing happens if you skip. |
| Response | I wait for a reply. No answer? I follow up. | You can ignore it. App doesn’t care. |
| Follow‑through | I’ll reach you another way if you go quiet (email / voice). | Silence. Maybe a red badge. |
| Adjustments | We change the plan in real time when life happens. | You dig through settings (if you bother). |
| Motivation | Social pressure + you’re paying for it = you do the thing. | Badges, streaks, and dopamine charts. Fun… until you stop opening the app. |
| Data & trust | 1:1. I only track what helps you follow through. | Depends on the app; often lots of data, upsells, ads. |
