Focusmate - Virtual coworking for getting anything done

I’m grateful for Focusmate. I don’t think I’ve ever had a consistent stretch of productivity this long in my entire life. So grateful! One question: Where can I find out how to blur?

Pretty much brand new to Focusmate, but I love it -the new updates will be awesome and I'm excited by the opportunity to add feedback here. 1. I'd love to have a little optional form that could be updated per session that could be downloaded automatically as PDF or calendar file (either per session, per day, per week) to track. With my ADHD brain, having the opportunity to time track this way can be really helpful beyond having the check-in at the beginning and end of the session. Something like this that could be optional to snag: Date/Time/Session Length Name: Initial Goal: Goal: Achieved/Partial/None Final Retrospective: 2. Maybe a 115 minute session that could be used as 4 Pomodoro blocks with 3 5 minute breaks. I've found that trying to do pomodoro blocks to be really complicated on Focusmate with having to sign up for individual sessions, one at a time, when I really just want to do Pomodoro block with brief breaks. 3. Accountability Pods - would love to find a small group of folks that we can be accountable to (perhaps extending out the groups piece and/or having a way to "slack" the pod at various times of the week with updates) 4. Love the idea of later sessions (I hate just missing a session by 1 minute) 5. Love the idea of bigger groups that being floated - would love to have the option to open a general session that could be open to everyone (maybe limit to 5) for a) morning routines, b) evening routines, c) monthly/weekly/daily planning sessions

@taylor_jacobson and FM Team : This virtual co-working platform has completely transformed the way I work and has made me much more productive. The concept is simple yet brilliant. What I love about Focusmate is that it provides the structure and accountability that I need to stay focused and productive. Knowing that someone else is working alongside me, even if we're not working on the same project or task, helps to keep me on track and motivated. I've also found that the regular check-ins and prompts from the facilitator helped break up my work into manageable chunks and prevent me from getting bogged down in distractions or procrastination. And since the sessions are 25, 50 or 75 minutes long, they provide a perfect balance to plan a focused work time and built-in breaks. Overall, I've been extremely impressed with Focusmate and am actively recommending it to anyone who wants to increase their productivity while working from home. Plus, I've met some fantastic human beings on this platform & made some great friends !!

I LOVE FocusMate SOO much!!! Thank you so much for posting and asking for your feedback :) It's really nice and just another reason why you all are amazing. First, I love the Favorites and I really like the blurbs that ask us to welcome "Newbies" to Focusmate! Two features that I'm really looking forward to (and would DEFINITELY improve my experience) are: - Rematching 2.0 — don’t lose your session even if your partner cancels at the last second - Last Minute Booking — find a match even if you book last minute by being added to the re-match queue I hope that the following suggestion could be optional since I enjoy connecting with my favorites, but I also love meeting new people in Focusmate, as well! - Favorites 2.2: Preferential Matching — automatically match with favorites when they’re available in your chosen slot The biggest comment I would make relating to the Matching Preferences 2.0 might be to allow this an optional field/choice for users to fill out only if they use FocusMate exclusively for one type of work (or just allow a mix to be an option). I do some deskwork and other activities (cleaning, exercises, etc.) so I wouldn't want someone to expect me to be at the desk and I'd be working out instead. I think expectation management would be helpful to ensure everyone has the best experience. Thank you for your AMAZING product! Keep up the great work :)

Loveee Focusmate! Great tool and even better people behind it. It makes pre-commitment so simple and very effective. Wish y'all the best of luck! 🚀

Hi Focusmate team! I have been using focusmate for more than 2 years consistently now… more than 2000 sessions and I definitely can’t study as productively without FM! So my story is that I was living in Iran for the first year.. and it turns out that you have banned Iran to access your website because it was a nightmare for me trying to even load the website every time. I understand that the sanctions and my country’s relationship with the US may have led to this problem and I understand if you can not change it. But I know there might be people out there willing to try this website… I mean for me it was very very difficult to use it for the first year but I hung in there and survived lol :) now I live in the US. Thank you for the great work!

i'm glad that the biggest bugs have already been taken care of in the new releases (Rematching 2.0 & Last Minute Booking). there are a few other suggestions I had put on bio: 1.+ boost productivity - data visualization (yearly) - graph to chart monthly grind 2.△ accountability - carrot and stick scoring for showing up and not showing up 3.>nudge - timeliness Score 100+ (self+public) regardless, thank you for FM. it is a gift.

Been a Focusmate member for over 4 years! It is the best spend I have each month to help me achieve my goals. I've used the service to help keep me on track while doing boring tasks such as invoicing; to exciting projects daily. I even use it to get my day started with reading and meditation. Hats off to Taylor and the team for bringing it to market! I love it so much I buy gift cards to introduce others to it. A++++ Love it!

I love Focus Mate! I used it once and immediately signed up for the subscription. I love how much more productive I am *when* I use it but (and I know this is crazy), I feel more even focused when I'm not using. What happen is this: I think to myself, "You really need to get ____ done. You should get to the computer right now and schedule a F-M session." Then, often, I start on the goal just before going online to schedule a Focus Mate session, and voila! I'm already ahead of my previously sloth-paced game.

Hello all, Thank you so much to Focusmate and the FM community for creating this tool.
