Focusmate

I paid Big Brother to watch me while I work and I liked it

I’ve started using Focusmate, and it has profoundly changed my ability to focus and commit by providing mutual accountability partner sessions up to 75 minutes each. A free account gets you 3 sessions a week, a paid account ($6.95 per month for a year if you pay in advance,) gets you unlimited sessions.

I schedule several per day so I can clock in to go to work and have someone there to be my partner while I do.

This isn't just for businesspeople, and home workers like me: you can schedule a session to commit to whatever task you absolutely must do: cleaning out the closet, or washing the dog. Whatever you want.

If you've been putting off writing that novel, or getting that art started, well then get an accountability partner who will be right there when you are.

You don't have to show anyone what you are doing, you simply state an intention, mute your mic, and get to work.

Since last year meant I could not work most of the year, my work habits, energy, and focus atrophied badly. Focusmate really, really helps me stick to my goals.

This is not a paid endorsement.

You may use it for FREE for three sessions per week and there are no hidden costs.
