Comment on Contract for self-hosting help

I see you’re getting lots of advice just to use c/selfhosted as a free consultant. That’s good advice if you’re self-motivated and focused.
If you want someone to be a coach through the process, to keep you focused and moving, that’s a) a slightly different skillset and b) worth putting in the description. I mention this only because I have a bunch of aspirational projects on my to–do list that have just sat there for literally years because of perfectionism, anxiety, and maybe some undiagnosed ADHD. I’ll also counter by noting that a lot of people, this time of year, buy a gym membership on the theory that spending the money will somehow force them actually to go to the gym, only to find that spent money is not actually a motivator.

A coach is the right word, thank you for that. I edited my post to clarify.
This isn’t a New Year’s thing - I’ve been debating this for a few months now. It’s also not about using money as a motivater because that doesn’t work for me. I just find that body doubling / external accountability really helps me. Sometimes you just have to accept who you are and pay the ADHD tax 🙃
