Utilizing positive social influence is a pretty common tactic for fighting drug addictions (like in AA), but I haven't really heard of it being used to fight unproductivity.

It's done a lot by different people.

I think there a LW group in Germany who starts their meetups like this. I think in Berlin we did it a while but didn't really now what to do with people who didn't fulfill on their goals. A few people of your Berlin group did pair coaching with each other.

At the moment I do pair coaching with someone from outside the LW sphere.
