Great productivity tool 👍👍 -

Productivity booster After about 20 sessions I have really been able to focus more on the things I need to get done. Love that you can try it out with 3 sessions per week. Such a powerful tool to get things done, and the community is supportive as well. I do wish there would be a penalty if people are not showing up consistently as I then will have to wait for another 15 minutes before the next slot opens

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.

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.

I appreciate thaI appreciate that the team are responsive. I appreciate that the team are responsive. They have always helped me to their best efforts whenever I've had a query. Of course, the Focusmate team have no control over the people using the site (in terms of punctuality and the basics like that, I mean) and so can't be blamed if members spoil my session by not showing up etc. As a concept it's great! The other reviews here give a diverse range of angles on what you can get out of using the site.
