Accountability partner.

Hello everyone! I’m Maria Davila (or just Astrid), a trustworthy accountability partner. Time is short, and managing everything can be difficult and feel overwhelming. The good news is that I can help you both focus on your goals and get more free time! You can check my Fiverr profile here to read some reviews and check the quality of my work.

A little bit more about me… I am a biologist who brings analytical thinking, a careful approach, and adaptability to my work. I also have this little blog. I share more about my services and myself here. Besides, I offer advice and occasionally share cute pictures of cats and dogs.

  • Accountability is more powerful than I thought

    Something strange happened this month, and I honestly was not expecting it. Last year, I started working as an accountability partner, and yes, I have helped more than a dozen people to focus and work toward their goals, but I have to put the work into it. However, I was hired by Joseph (not his Read more

  • The Science of Paying Attention: Why I Stopped Scribbling and Started Using Fathom AI

    I remember sitting in a meeting with my thesis supervisor while we were planning our next steps. As she spoke, I lowered my head to scramble some annotations in my notebook. Suddenly, she stopped and said: “Pay attention! Don’t write. I need you to focus.” What she didn’t know was that for me, paying attention Read more

  • Why Guilt Kills our ADHDers’ To-Do Lists (And How to Fix It with Kindness)

    Disclaimer: This article has situations that most ADHD-ers face, but not all sources used focus on neurospicy brains. Neurotypical brains might still face similar challenges, tho. Experiment with different approaches, but always prioritize professional medical and mental health professionals’ advice 🙂 We’ve all been there. You have one “simple” email to send. It should take Read more

  • Don’t F*ck Your Future Self this 2026.

    I have been into self-development since I was a teenager. I remember reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and trying desperately to become better. As a scraggy teenager with no self-esteem, that was not an easy task. I slowly, very slowly, learned how to be more patient with myself, and I can thank Read more

  • Bloganuary 2026. Jan 12. Let me tell you about Popetas.

    Quala is a company that produces and distributes a delicious, ready-to-consume popcorn called Popetas. This popcorn is glorious. The mixed caramel-and-butter version is especially delightful. It combines sweet and salty snacks in the same package (a dopamine source with every bite). That’s my snack at this very moment. What about you? Read more

  • Bloganuary 2026. Jan 9. My mission is to remain financially independent 🙂 while helping others!

    Last year, I shared an honest confession on how I thought I was entitled to be supported by my parents. I still feel ashamed about it. Luckily, several years ago, I realized that was unacceptable 🙂 Things have taken a turn since (read more about that on the link above). This past year, I have Read more
