Focusmate Arvostelua 291

I've logged over 3300 sessions on Focusmate over the last 4yrs - it's my #1 tool to getting more stuff done (and better quality stuff!)

I've dabbled with other accountability platforms and I keep coming back to Focusmate. For me - it's the best tool out there. There's huge power in making an appointment with another human to get meaningful work done. You do get some no-shows but there are so many users on the platform now that a replacement is usually found within 1min - so the show rolls on.

And you meet some great people doing interesting things from all over the globe. Thank you Focusmate and all my digital workmates!

Amazingly helpful tool. I strongly recommend it to ADHD people and those working on tough, overwhelming projects we would otherwise postpone to the very last night.

I wish I had found out about Focusmate many years ago. It would have saved me a lot of grief. I'm a neuropsychologist and have ADHD and this is a proven technique that helps ADHDs called body doubling. It has raised my produtivity by a thousand and I've been reccomending it to all my ADHD patients ever since.

This has been way more helpful than I would have ever thought sitting next to a virtual stranger to complete work would be. Definitely recommend to anyone that struggles with distractions and staying on task during study.

I found the experience of having a session on FocusMate very straight forward. I liked the clean, well designed interface. I have now had 2 sessions on FocusMate - both highly productive and got me through a prevaricating-block. By getting me moving on my tasks I have found each time that the momentum carries on after the FocusMate booked session! Excellent idea and I am sure I will be booking another session soon !

I discovered Focusmate at the beginning of grad school and it has been invaluable! Super easy to use and very effective for body doubling to help me focus on tasks. I love that you can choose from 3 session lengths. As soon as I found out that they did not require your credit card info to use it unless you upgrade, I was sold. That is how much they trust their concept to sell itself. So thankful for this tool!

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Focusmate team. This platform has allowed me to connect with incredible professionals from diverse backgrounds worldwide. Over the years, I’ve gained so much both personally and professionally, and I’ve even developed lasting friendships. It’s a wonderful experience that goes far beyond simple co-working.

I needed to assemble my business's tax information for my accountant. It was a daunting task, which I could have easily put off until April if not for a February deadline my accountant gave me. I put this off day after day and my anxiety exponentially mounted. I then discovered Focusmate. After 6 50-minute sessions, I was done. Amazing. I now use Focusmate on a daily basis.

This an great tool to get work done, this company is also very « human », they’re comprehensive and make their best for your best experience! Love to be able to choose only woman to work with, from all around the world. I’m in for many years now!

Focusmate has made me better at my job, has made it possible for me to work in the home office I set up, finally, and not have to be in a cafe that always closes to early (I'm sure my barista misses me). Some day it takes the place of Adderall. I love the people in it too, it is amazing to be dealing with the pressure of work but working online with people who 100% understand that I need to verbalize my whole to do list if I'm going to do anything in the next hour. Group work online didn't work for me but this did!

I am so grateful that I found focusmate. Cuz one months ago I found it was so hard to start preparing for my exam and now I already finished over 60 sessions which means a lot to me. It helped me build up my confidence, help me visualised my time. I highly recommend it if you have ADHD or difficulty managing time!

I've been using Focusmate since 2023, both the free and paid versions, and it is such a helpful resource.

When I'm procrastinating and just can't get myself going or when I'm doing a task that I know is not going to be enjoyable even after I get started, the folks on Focusmate help.

I usually use it for reading, studying, writing, and creating presentations, but I just wrapped up a session during which I cleaned my oven (I was inspired by a previous session when my partner cleaned her apartment while I was studying).

Love meeting people from all around the world, even briefly. The global element is what makes the platform so reliable, too. (It's always someone's productive time somewhere!)

The platform can't control people who flake, but very few do in my experience, and when they do Focusmate finds you another partner quickly.

Just saved my routine and stopped my procrastination once and for all. Besides, I can meet new people and practice my english. I hardly recommend it!

I've used it on and off for years, especially when I need to get myself out of a rut with my creative projects or life admin that I just keep putting off. I've always been met with wonderful people across the world, on a platform that makes it really simple to connect and get work done.

Focusmate is an absolute game changer. The day I found it I knocked out so many things I was avoiding for so long. It's an incredible mind hack to whip myself into shape. It works so well. I'm beyond grateful to be giving them money every month because it's so worth every penny. I tried out a couple different body doubling sites before landing on this one and WOW it's everything I've ever needed plus an incredible backend team. I don't read 99% of my emails but I do occasionally read one from FocusMate because I have such positive associations with them and they've helped me so much - plus their emails are pretty funny. I love being able to log on anytime and within 15minutes be getting work done. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Reading back on this review I sound like I was paid to write this but NO - 1000% works really well. Simple. Powerful. Effective.

Don't waste any more time not getting sh*t done.

Absolutt elsker den!
Focusmate er et helt fantastisk verktøy for å holde meg fokusert på oppgaven, uansett hva jeg må få gjort. Skulle virkelig ønske jeg hadde oppdaget denne tidligere. Anbefales!

Focusmate has been a game-changer for my bar prep. The focus and accountability have made studying far more effective, and receiving a scholarship made this support possible when I needed it most. I know I’ll continue using Focusmate throughout my legal career. Highly recommend for law students, bar takers, and attorneys.

Focusmate is one of those tools that benefits everyone, not just neurodivergent individuals! The reason I say it's a tool everyone can use is because while many of its users are neurodivergent, it's something that a neurotypical individual who works remotely or from home can use to help bring some vivacity to the isolating nature of their routine, through having 'virtual' coworkers, or if you just want company as you clean, do a household chore like feeding a pet, decluttering, or packing, or follow through with executing healthier habits that help you live more intentionally such as reading, gardening, or yoga.

As a woman living unmedicated with ADHD, Focusmate has been an incredible coworking space I have used over 3000 times over the past 3 years (I started using it in the fall of 2022) to get things done. Focusmate helped me immensely as I pursued my Master's degree, and the community of people I have worked alongside helped me learn how to give myself true grace, and truly have self-compassion, and ultimately, nurture my self-love.

Amazing!!!
