A powerful tool that has transformed my work routine over the last 5 years is Focusmate.com. Since 2019, I've used Focusmate almost daily to keep myself accountable, plan & do my work, and connect with new co-workers from around the globe.

This year, I focused for a total of 23,525 minutes (392+ hours) via 518 sessions. I collaborated with 252 coworkers from 36 different countries. Lifetime, I've completed over 3000 sessions.

Power of Accountability

Focusmate provides a live accountability partner during your scheduled 25-, 50-, or 75- minute work sessions. This structure ensures that you show up and stay focused on your key tasks. There’s minimal chit-chat, in line with community guidelines, allowing you to dive straight into productivity. It’s a simple yet effective way to boost your efficiency and make remote work more enjoyable.

Global Connections

One of the unexpected benefits of using Focusmate is the opportunity to meet people from various backgrounds. Throughout the day, I’ve worked alongside students, entrepreneurs, teachers, and creatives. In early morning sessions, I've connected with professionals from Europe wrapping up their day. Late evenings might bring a partner starting their morning on the other side of the world. The global interaction alongside diverse work genres adds a rich layer of context to my work life.

Filling the Social Gap

I work remotely from home or other locations more now than ever. The brief Focusmate connections have filled a missing element of social interaction. Sharing a mutual goal with someone I’ve never met is refreshing and hopeful. It’s akin to working in a coffee shop, but with the added benefit of global camaraderie.
