Question

Create a visual map of your support system.
Include names, roles, and how each person helps you stay on track.
Write a short paragraph: Who do you want to check in with weekly?

Answer 1

Below is a compact, text-based “visual” map you can copy, edit, or use as a template. First you’ll find an ASCII-style diagram showing you at the center with spokes to different people in your support system. Then there’s a filled example and a blank template you can personalize. Finally I’ve included a short paragraph you can use or adapt that answers: Who do you want to check in with weekly?

1) Visual map (diagram)
[Therapist / Coach]
|
[Friend] — [You] — [Accountability Buddy]
|
[Partner/Family] — [Manager / Mentor]

2) Example map (names, roles, how they help)
- You (center): Goal focus, tracks daily tasks, compiles weekly summary.
- Alex — Accountability Buddy
Role: Peer friend who shares similar goals.
How they help: Weekly 15–20 min check-ins to report progress, set one priority for the next week, and troubleshoot obstacles.
- Maya — Coach
Role: Professional coach.
How she helps: Monthly coaching session for strategy, skills, and goal review; spot feedback by email.
- Jordan — Manager
Role: Work supervisor.
How they help: Clarifies priorities at work, gives deadlines and feedback, helps remove blockers.
- Dr. Lee — Therapist
Role: Mental health clinician.
How they help: Biweekly therapy to manage stress, build coping skills, and maintain motivation.
- Sam — Partner
Role: Emotional and household support.
How they help: Daily encouragement, helps with logistics (childcare/household tasks) so you can focus on goals.
- Mom — Family
Role: Emotional check-ins and occasional practical help.
How she helps: Weekend calls for emotional support and encouragement; helps with childcare when needed.

3) Blank template (fill in with actual names)
- You (center): [Your role — e.g., "goal owner; compiles plan"]
- [Name] — [Role]
Role: [e.g., “accountability buddy / friend / coach / manager / therapist / partner / family”]
How they help: [e.g., “weekly check-ins, daily texts for motivation, monthly planning sessions, removes blockers, emotional support, etc.”]

4) Short paragraph: Who do you want to check in with weekly?
Template you can fill:
"I want to check in weekly with [Name], my [role], because they help me stay accountable by [specific actions: e.g., reviewing progress, helping prioritize, troubleshooting obstacles, and celebrating wins]. We’ll do a [length]-minute check-in every [day/time] by [phone/text/video/in-person] to set one clear priority for the coming week."

Example paragraph:
"I want to check in weekly with Alex, my accountability buddy, because Alex helps me stay accountable by reviewing my progress, troubleshooting what’s getting in the way, and helping me pick one clear priority for the coming week. We’ll have a 20-minute video call every Monday morning so I start the week focused."

Quick tips for making this work
- Pick one primary weekly check-in person (usually an accountability buddy, coach, or manager).
- Keep check-ins short and focused: wins, obstacles, top priority, next step.
- Schedule a recurring time and choose a simple agenda.
- Use a shared doc or quick message after the check-in to record commitments.

If you want, tell me the actual names/roles in your life and I’ll build a personalized map and a ready-to-use weekly check-in script.
