[OFFER] I'll be your accountability partner / "boss" for a work session so you actually finish your task ($15/hr)

Are you a chronic procrastinator, or someone with ADHD who can't get moving without external pressure? I'll hop on a call, watch you work, and keep you on track until it's done.

Trying to freelance but can't seem to finish your portfolio? Got a side project idea that's been sitting untouched for months? This is exactly what it's for.

Backstory (skip if you just want the offer): I'm a freelance designer. A few weeks ago someone hired me to record my screen on Zoom while I worked, just to observe how a designer works. I've never been so focused in my life. No phone, no random tabs, just straight through for 2 hours. Turns out being watched + accountable flips a switch that willpower alone never does for me. Now I'm offering that same thing to other people.

How it works:

  1. Book a slot on my calendar: calendar — tell me what you need to get done when you book
  2. We hop on the call, 5-10 min to chat and check the vibe / go over the task
  3. If you want to proceed, I'll send you a payment link
  4. You work, I stay on the call and keep you accountable (screen share optional but recommended)
  5. At the end, you tell me what you got done, we wrap up and schedule for the next session if you'd like to

Good for: finishing a portfolio, actually starting that side project, writing, design work, admin/paperwork you keep avoiding, studying, job application, anything you keep putting off alone but could actually do with someone watching.

Price: $15/hr. Payment via PayPal.

Getting tired of seing all the AI slop, so here's a cool website I found on twitter

I found grainrad.com on Twitter (not affiliated with it at all, btw). It's like the best ASCII/dithering/pixelated tools. I already spent hours playing around. Just thinking you guys might appreciate it here.
Feel free to share a cool website/tool that you found!

A stranger paid me to record myself working and it fixed my brain for 2 hours

I've been a chronic procrastinator for my whole life. I dropped out of college because I couldn't finish my final assignment. Tried working in an office job and quit in less than a month. Then I became a freelance designer, finding jobs on various freelancing platforms, scraping by for a decade, still financially supported by my parents. It's really hard for me to start a new project, and often time I miss a deadline. I don't have a boss or a co-worker, total freedom and no structure at all.

A couple of days ago I found a unique job on reddit. This guy wants to do a zoom meeting and record my screen while I design some icons for him. He is building a design tool for creating icons and wants to observe how designers work creating icons. He paid me upfront, and then I started working. 2 hours flew by. I can't stop, I can't doubt my decisions, I'm being watched. How could I? He already paid me.

And what really surprised me is that I really like the end result of the icons that I designed. Usually it will take me hours or even days to finish, and I will hate the result, calling myself stupid because I spend that much time to only end up with a mediocre result.
Who knows the solutions to my life problems are to be watched by people when working, lol. Should've stuck it out in my office jobs all those years ago.
Does anyone else's ADHD work like this?

Anyone ever close a client without a single call?

Hey everyone, I just started my solo web design agency. Looking at other agency sites, almost every CTA is "book a call", but personally I'd rather keep things async, over email or a Loom video instead. Or maybe fill a form at the beginning?

Is that actually realistic though? Has anyone here managed to land a new client without a single call, just async back-and-forth? Curious how that went and whether it slowed down the sales process or scared off potential clients.

I just launched my solo web design agency! Need opinion about the whole concept, design, price, target audience, etc.
