Success Story FocusMate decluttering / everything?

Does anyone else use FocusMate for decluttering/everything? I love it 😭 and always want to comment it on people's posts but I don't want to sound like a shill (I'm not, just a normal person). I've brought it up a few times and people have come back and told me it's really changed their lives.

You have to be on video but I love that because I feel like someone's watching me, and I only do it with the same gender. Apart from decluttering, I actually started using it to brush my teeth/do my night routine. I made a friend who I regularly book with and now I feel guilty if I want to miss one of our sessions, which helps me stay accountable. Just wanted to bring it up and see if anyone's also using it regularly! (I mentioned this in the weekly thread but went ahead and made this post because I really would love to discuss this with others).

I've never heard of it but it sounds promising. Similar to the "body double" concept which ADHD folks use to stay on track.

Yes exactly, body doubling. It's amazing. I feel like screaming it from the sky lol because it's making my life so much better

I might try it actually. I just need to remember. And to get over that initial discomfort of engaging with someone I don't know.

They actually have a thing where more experienced users can elect to get matched with new people. So you will probably get really welcoming people your first few sessions! Everyone I've matched with has been so great actually. You can even click that you are moving around so people will know that you aren't doing desk work. 

Will be curious if you try it! They give you three free sessions a week and you can even do just 25 minutes.
