Um. I just had my first session over at
@focusmate
and I think it may be the best tool I've ever used to help me with

. Having an appointment with someone created exactly the people-pleasing push I needed.
I did stuff. Wow.

“We compare ourselves to machines – we say, ‘I’m just going to crank this out’ – but we’re not built that way at all. If we start to think of ourselves as wired for socialising, we can use that to really just help us be our best.”

Most people are scared to use the L-word at work. Well, the Focusmate community aren't most people.
This isn't just about productivity; it's about believing in one another and being there for one another and cheering each other on, on the path to becoming whoever we want to be.
We hope and stand for a future where black people are treated with full dignity and humanity, and oppose any force that seeks to strip black people of safety and love.
Black lives matter.
I just got off a video call with an accountability buddy on

... a total stranger, who was just so incredibly supportive and excited for me and congratulatory, and now I'm actually crying... tears streaming down my cheeks... I'm just so happy! I'm just so happy. 😭 ❤️❤️

Focusmate solves one of my biggest problems - I’ve been trying for years to get up early and work 3 hours for my passion project. Now I just schedule 3 virtual co-working sessions from 6-9 a.m. and it’s done.
@focusmate
beautiful writeup!
"It’s natural to have reservations toward Focusmate before you use it. I was suspicious when I first heard about this online productivity community. Do I want someone watching me while I work? What kind of people use this thing?
But Focusmate is brilliant."
Being paired with struggling students on
@focusmate
and giving them
#positive
affirmation (while they don’t know you’re a struggling academic) is slowly becoming my favourite pandemic pastime

Print media coverage of Focusmate still has that strange extra sheen of specialness, so this weekend's front-and-center coverage in the The Times of India was extra gratifying!!
“How can you combine just the ingredients of providing structure, providing accountability, providing human connection and camaraderie and team spirit?”
Super dope

The dude I did my 4am

session with this morning, used the full 75min to meditate. Apparently that's a daily thing. 🤯
Some unexpected inspiration this morning.. Wow.

Thanks for asking! You probably would find

Thanks for your patience, systems are back online and working well for 1:1 sessions!
Thanks to everyone who joined us for some Community Coworking on Zoom -- it was great to turn this challenge into an amazing time of community and connection ♥️🙏

This thread might help:
Also if you want to quickly scan Twitter for candid thoughts on our service, searching "focusmate" is a quick way to do that!
If you need to focus and do something and are an obliger like me that thrives on external accountability, highly recommend
@focusmate
. Started using it right after pandemic started and it's been a gamechanger/lifesaver
@MinaRatkalkar
thank you so much for sharing Mina, we're so happy to hear Focusmate has been this helpful to you! and congratulations on your 800 sessions 🎉💜

@hannah_litagent
So true, Jo! Body doubling with friends can be a little more distracting. Thanks for recommending us :) We’d love to have you over for a session
@hannah_litagent
— you can get a body double on 24/7 to help you stay productive.
I’ll always toot Focusmate’s horn because it’s MY favorite thing since sliced bread. Shout out to
@findingmalo
for putting me on, simply by tweeting about the platform. I’m forever grateful 🫶🏾🫶🏾🧡
@hejmaguire
@m_ashcroft
Michael, glad Ultraworking is working for you!
For both of you, FYI, we now also do group coworking all day every Friday, though we're extending that gradually to be 24x7
We'd love for you to join us this Friday!
@thenomadbrad
Congrats on your first session, Brad 🎉 We’re so happy to hear it went well, and we hope to see you for many more productive sessions soon!

@ADHDdesigner
You can mention ADHD in your profile but it's not necessary. Many users have ADHD. It's a very, very welcoming and non-judgmental community. When you sign up there is also a video that walks you through the entire experience, and you will likely find it very simple :)
@Malcolm_Ocean
Hey! We just added the ability to share an invite link so friends can book with you for sessions -- so I guess "something like focusmate but for ppl in your network" -- is now Focusmate too :)
Would love to have you try it out!

thanks for the mention Nikita! giving yourself a few hours each morning to tackle the biggest priority sounds like a great trick, too :)
