An accountability partner, by the hour.
Say what you'll get done, do it with someone present, and check in at the end. Book an accountability partner for one session or every week.
How accountability sessions work
At the start you tell your pal what you plan to finish. During the session they work alongside you, or simply stay present. At the end you check in on how it went. You choose the tone: gentle, matter-of-fact, or just a quiet nod.
Make it a habit
Book a recurring time
The same pal, the same slot, week after week.
Set your goal
One clear task per session works best.
Work and check in
Start, focus, review.
Pay when it's done
Palhour holds the payment until after the session.
Pals set their own price.
We suggest $20 an hour. You see the exact price before you book, pay through Palhour, and the money is held until you tap All good. Cancel free up to 1 hour before.
