I can't say that I have any links, just personal experience.
I've seen the same therapist for 5+ years. He helped me get through my divorce and grow into a much better person. Recently, I've started trying to use him as an accountability mechanism for improving the still remaining ~5% of my life that I wish to continue improving. I've found it to be less effective that I had hoped b/c he's not really serving a function he's trained at nor are our meetings frequent enough to be just-in-time useful (~once/mo.).
I suspect a mastermind group of like-minded strangers that meet on a weekly basis would be more effective (and cheaper!).
- eduren 10y agoAh that sounds like an interesting proposal. A sort of personal "Advisory Board".

I haven't looked too deeply into them, but I briefly participated at my school (they're all-inclusive, but focused on women in tech) and it was a very positive experience. They may have some useful data for you on how to effectively practice this idea. [1]: https://leanincircles.org/ https://leanincircles.org/
- rleonard 10y agoYes I have been in 2 masterminds and both have been great for support and advice. As a result I build a SaaS to help more people connect this way because I believe that the more we help each other the better for everyone. www.eccountability.io
