About Focusmate

Focusmate pairs people for scheduled video work sessions. At the start, each person briefly names what they plan to finish, works on their own task, then checks in at the end. A remote worker can use a session to start an overdue draft, do a batch of administrative work or prepare slides that they keep putting off. The partner supplies a shared appointment and a closing check-in. You keep responsibility for the work and can pick something that is appropriate to do on camera. Try a few sessions at the times you usually lose momentum before deciding whether the structure helps. It fits people comfortable working quietly on video with someone they have just met. A solo timer offers similar time boundaries if you prefer to work privately.
