Fifteen minutes, every week, with one person
A small, humane, repeatable structure for two people checking in on each other. Same time most weeks, four segments, and a printable agenda.
For the Accountability Partner. 15 minutes a week. Private on this device; nothing is sent anywhere. Not clinical advice.
Who it is for
You have a friend who would do this if you asked, and you have not asked because it sounds like a commitment. It is fifteen minutes. The page is honest that matching is not live yet; this is the structure, and you bring the person.
The short version
- Pick the person (the page cannot yet). Someone who will keep the time and not try to fix you.
- Pick the slot. Same day, same time, most weeks. "Most" is the word that keeps it alive.
- Minutes 0 to 3: one word for the week each. No context.
- Minutes 3 to 8: what you said you would do and whether you did. Yes or no, then why if you want.
- Minutes 8 to 12: one ask for the coming week. One.
- Minutes 12 to 15: what you will do by next time. Write it on the agenda; it is next week’s minute three.
- Print the agenda and fill the four minutes in before the call. The written version is the one that survives a bad week.
A worked example
An invented reader, so the mechanics are visible. Your answers will differ.
Week one, your word is "foggy"; theirs is "fine". You said you would book the psych visit; you did not. The ask: "text me Thursday and ask if I booked it." Their ask is unrelated and that is the point; it is not a support call, it is two people. By next time: the visit is booked, because a text on Thursday is easier to answer than a resolution on Sunday.
The one thing
If one of you misses a week, the other sends the one word anyway. The thread matters more than the call.
