SEEKING A PARTNER
Ever feel like you're still working alone when it comes to studying, even with all of the livestreams? Need someone to be right there with you to help push you every morning? Need help planning out your daily schedule and actually getting it done? Need someone to critique your work when you need it? Well, by having a partnership with someone, you can help push each other to make those accomplishments.
Right now you might be sitting there in a livestream just watching or listening to the streamer paint, but you are just one out many. The streamer isn't really focused on any one individual person. The streams are more for the group activities such as bloodsport and listening to professionals come on and talk. When it comes to doing something as mundane as studies, you could use someone pushing you to wake up and getting them done.
I was thinking that maybe there could be two threads. One for finding a partner and one for posting the studies. You would post your contact information and schedule in the SEEKING A PARTNER thread. You might use a messenger such as AIM, MSN, SKYPE, etc... to meet up with your partner and discuss your plans for the day. When you finish your study session, you could post your work in the PARTNER DAILIES thread as proof that you actually did them. Your messenger account should be NEW. Why? So that you don't talk to anyone else besides your partner. When you finish your daily routine with your partner you can log off and go on with your day.
HOW TO FIND A PARTNER IN THE SEEKING A PARTNER THREAD?
Step 1: MAKE NEW POST IN SEEKING A PARTNER THREAD:
(So that people can find you)
Step 2: LEAVE A SMALL BIO:
(Just a small bio of who you are)
Step 3: LEAVE OR PM/EMAIL YOUR MESSENGER ACCOUNT INFO:
(A newly made messenger account of any kind)
Step 4: LEAVE SCHEDULE:
(Let people know your time zone, when you get up, and how many hours you have for studies)
After that, you can look through the posts and find someone you think suits your schedule and let them know you're down and give them your contact info. When you do find someone, put in the topic title CLOSE POST so I can close the post.
You can both be studying different things but let each other know what you will be doing and how long each of you are going to be in that session. At the end of the session show each other what you've managed to get done and make a new post for you and your partner in the PARTNER DAILIES thread.
PS. If you guys think this is a dumb idea I'll remove this, haha.
