I love Focusmate. I first learned about it during the pandemic, but then forgot about it. I became a member a couple months ago and now don't know what I'd do without it. I find it particularly helpful to book a session at the end of the day when I'm really low energy and I need accountability to get my work done. I typically book sessions on the spot, but I'm thinking about prescheduling sessions for work that I tend to procrastinate on.

A great platform against procrastination. I really like this service to organise my WFH. It helps me to focus on the tasks I need to carry on, since I am "forced" to sit down in front of the computer. I find it also works as a soft accountability tool, due to the fact that you talk with your partner BEFORE and AFTER the session. The only downside I see is the fact that they only allow a yearly subscription. Since I work on a project basis, some months are more hectic than others, and thus a 12-month subscription doesn't make much sense for me.

There is a kind of magic to this website when it comes to getting tasks done. It's hard to explain... but just having another human standing by... you set a simple goal, and you do your best to make it... If you don't quite get there, no points off, yet if you do, then there's something rewarding to having the person there to say "I GOT there!" to. It's a no pressure help-mate. It's a miracle for procrastinators like me. A membership is very affordable, and very rewarding. I cannot recommend it enough.

Its a lifeline for my ADHD. That increased focus and attention on you in a two person session as opposed to group sessions is really good for ADHD.

Focusmate is literally the best. Has helped me souch with focusing and boosting my productivity. I can't explain enough how it has literally changed me. I have ADHD and couldn't focus at all. But this app has been great. They also gave me a discount/ scholarship on the subscription when they got to know that I am a full time student with limited pocket money. I love this app. Met some really great people too :)

FocusMate is a great tool. I don't wright alot of reviews but I love this service. You should definitely try it out especially if you're a procrastinator or just can't get yourself to focus. There's no risk in signing up and giving it a go. It's got a great culture and people too!

I love this productivity tool that helps you get the most important work done. The accountability aspect is what I appreciate the most because I work remotely and usually by myself.
