Buddy Ping Template

A ready-to-send script for accountability help. Use it when another person can make the plan feel more real.

Use this when you need a person-shaped reminder to help a start time become real. The goal is not to explain everything. The goal is to set a tiny accountability loop.

How to use it

  • Send the pre-start message when you choose your time.
  • Ask for one check-in, not a full rescue mission.
  • Send a short finish note so the loop closes.
