Great productivity tool 👍👍 -

Focusmate has made it possible to be productive again I started working remotely back in 2020, and am still mostly at home since. I have had trouble focusing on work for a long time, so much so that I was worried that my executive functioning was impaired. I mentioned body doubling to a close friend, and she told me about Focusmate. The mere fact that I am sharing a work session with someone else on the screen has done wonders for me. I have finished tedious tasks like writing and reviewing citations for a book and rewriting my resume and cover letter, which I usually avoid like the plague. I like that I can choose defined time blocks so that I don't stare at the screen all day. I also like that it's giving me a sense of how long tasks take. It's amazing how much I can get done in 25 minutes. I also appreciate hearing what other people are working on and how they organize their tasks. I use the first 25 minutes of my day making a to-do list, estimating how long tasks will take, and then prioritizing rather than having a huge list and never feeling like I've gotten anywhere. Even in short snippets of conversation I have met great people. Some have recommended other tools to help with focus and organization.

Focus mate is a life changing platform Focus mate is a life changing platform. Since becoming a member, I am way more relaxed about my tasks and deadlines for I know using it will force me to sit down and go for it, no matter what. The team is super helpful and other users extremely nice and respectful. It's like feeling part of a community of procrastinators silently helping each other to make progress in life. I couldn't recommend it more!

Massive productivity boost! My productivity has significantly increased since finding FocusMate. I was looking for a 'virtual coworking' type of arrangement that made it simple and convenient to book coworking sessions, but also holds me accountable to showing up to do my work. Just completed my 100th session with FocusMate and I'm loving it!

Helping achieve goals and being my best self! I have completed more than 1600 sessions on Focusmate till date, and it has been a lifesaver to keep me accountable to get work done, improved my time estimation skills on how much work I can get done in a 50-minute session, and a brilliant way to meet and work with so many welcoming and fun people. I have spent sessions working on meditation, journaling, planning projects, my dissertation, presentations, chores and a good deal of other stuff! I just wanted to say thanks for existing and helping people like me achieve our goals and be our best selves.
