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!

Game Changer Focusmate has absolutely changed my life. I was struggling so much with "getting started" anxiety while wfh before finding focusmate. Now with focusmate, I can set a time to begin. Its crazy how well this works. Being able to share my screen and just feel like I am not alone while working with strangers all over the world has allowed me to do what I couldn't do on my own. I am so glad I found this product

Really wish I'd found this years ago Really wish I'd found this years ago. I've only had one bad experience and the rest have been fantastic. The last few weeks have been the most productive of my life, thank you to the Focusmate team and it's users.

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.

Today I had an important deadline to… Today I had an important deadline to work on, so used Focusmate. I booked a session. No show. They moved me to another session 2 minutes later. Had a good session. Booked another session. Some guy just staring at the screen. I said hello, just staring. I tried to get his attention. Just staring, saying nothing. I left the session and had to wait a further 15 minutes for the next session. No Show. Then I booked another session. Person turned up late. Couldn't get her camera on for 5 minutes. Then interupted my session to tell me what she was going to do. I spent more time messing about that actually being productive. Spoke with customer service who sent me a cut and paste job - 500 word essay. No time to read that. To be fair they gave me a refund. Looking for alternatives where others actually show up.
