Hi to everyone listening
I’m one of those people who like to think about stuff. I also spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos or reading stuff. I enjoy it and it comes natural. But because of that I neglect other things. Like I have plenty of ideas which I want to do. But I never start them and the few I do start stay in their infancy because I stop working on them the next day or so. Luckily it doesn’t impact my work and my daily chores that much. One thing I noticed is that in those settings the environment and the people force me to do stuff. But when it comes to my free time, I don’t have anything like that.
Now I’m on the lookout for a person who is willing to keep a mostly daily conversation with me who I can be completely open with and who will hold me accountable. It would be best if that person is available sometimes between 6pm to 10pm CET. I do have friends where I live, but they are all pretty bad at texting. Because of that meeting them isn’t an issue but keeping in touch while doing my own projects doesn’t really work.
Ideally the person I’m looking for is male, a protestant Christian, older than me (I’m 26) and has a broad range of interest. But those are not really fixed requirements.
The form of communication doesn’t really matter to me, as long as it isn’t vial mail or pigeon.
If anyone is interested please contact me, even if you don’t think you meet all the requirements.

Not what you asked for, but this may help:

I just listened to the entire thing. I assume you didn’t mean the Apple product review but the journal in the beginning.
I was always bad with journals. Because of that I don’t think this is the solution to my problem. But thanks anyways.
I would be ideal for that except… My schedule is full already. Due to 4 dogs and a sick wife.. My schedule is chaotic, and I hate that. All I can do right now is pray when I think about it, and maybe send e-mail encouragement when I have time. Praying you find what you need. (65 years old, male, married Christian. Look me here for more)
There is nothing better out there than a chaotic schedule 😉 I’m the opposite. But sadly not opposite enough for me to be able to have a perfectly healthy sleep schedule. Every week or two I meet people and it can get late. And because of that I never really settle into a healthy regular sleeping schedule. I stay up longer than needed and I also don’t go to bed at the same time everyday. It’s still better than the one of many stressed people, but it isn’t good enough for perfection.
I don’t really need e-mail encouragement. I’m good with that. But I always welcome prayers. As long as the person is a Christian and prays to the real god, then it doesn’t really matter what kind of person it is or what denomination he has. That’s at least my take.
Sadly I’m not good with praying myself. I just can’t remember when and who to pray for. But I just prayed now for your wife. And she needs your time more than I do. Buy her some flowers or something else nice.
Thank you for your prayers. Will continue mine for you. Oddly enough, one of the few things in my schedule not chaotic is my sleeping times. That and and feeding and walking my dogs. They don’t let me slack off or forget either.😋 ( I swear they can tell time. They bark right when my work day is over and when I have my breaks) My wife is the one with regular sleep time issues (pain can keep her awake. She has to time it with the taking of her pain pills.) And for Valentine’s day, one thing I already have for her is a cookbook. She loves to cook when she can, and hates that it is hard for her to do. She actually expressed interest in this one.
Thank you for praying for me.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have sleep problems. But I’ve heard that a completely regular sleep schedule both helps with certain health stuff and it also reduces the amount of sleep needed. It’s more of an optimizing thing and something which I think reduces my ability in being disciplined.
Yes, animals can tell time.
I can understand that cooking is fun. My mother was stay at home mom and I’m used that all food is self-cooked. Ever since I live on my own I cook when I eat at home. At least once a day. But most of the time it is something which lasts a few days. I wouldn’t cook though if someone likes to cook for me. I just treat it like every other household chore. What does she like to cook/eat most?
She calls herself a meativore (carnivore). She especially likes baking. I do a somewhat spicy cheese dip that has a reputation around friends, family and co-workers for being addicting. My wife has a receipe, but she says she can’t do it like it do. I barely measure. I go mainly by smell. 30+ years of making it. She has a recipe for a lemon tart square she got from my mother (long deceased -1999) that people adore. My relatives who had it for years say she nailed it. (My mom did not tell them everything she did to make it). My wife had a copy of the same recipe, but figured out the difference.
As a Swiss person we obviously have a family recipe. But besides that we don’t have any traditional recipes. My mom just has decent cooking and I just improvise with whatever I want to eat right now. And it normally works alright. In the beginning I sometimes used a bit too much salt though 😉
I just read through my reply again and I noticed that my first sentence lacks the most relevant thing. We have a family recipe of a cheese fondue.
As we say in the USA about a Swiss person having a cheese fondue recipe… Well, duh!😋
Some Americans even think Swiss people ride on cows to school… Well, duh!
Well I can relate. I find myself in the same situations. We could hold each other’s feet to the fire.
but 6:00pm CET it in the middle of my work day. I’d still be willing to chat sometime. Always like having someone new to bounce ideas off of.
Oh. I am a guy, 30yo and Christian.
I prefer the second half of my time scale anyways. What kind of conversation media do you prefer? WhatsApp, skype, discord… I’m pretty open. Because most of them are new to me anyways.
And actually I prefer holding each other’s feet to the fire over the mentor thing. Mentors can be something quite good, but I do think for this thing I’m looking for here a more equal relationship is preferable.
Discord would be easier for me. I’m not as familiar with the others. Of if you have a PS4 we can chat in party there as well.
I don’t have a PS4.
