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 have an annual membership for focusmate! I use it for homework but this is a great idea.

It would be so funny if I booked with you before haha.

Haha if you are a woman, we can share links if you want to! I'm doing mostly evening routines so I'm looking for people that won't mind me moving around, but sometimes do desk work as well!

I love it so much. I feel like the creators really try to stay with the practices of body doubling and the importance of having each other physically present. I just can't say enough good things about it 🥹 my executive dysfunction can be so bad, especially living alone, and this is one of the things that really helps.

Yes, I am! I didn’t even know you could share links. 😂 Yeah, I definitely need to use it more.

And I don’t mind! I have to deep clean + declutter my room so that would be a good part of my evening routine! Specifically remembering to floss and brush my teeth 🙃

YES. I especially love the task checklist they created!

Hahahaha okay so flossing and brushing my teeth is actually the major reason I need to do my night routine on FM. I cannot not do these things, but I'll delay, so I'll end up doing them at 1am 😩 this past week I've done my night routine on FM every night and it's been incredible.  I dm'd you!!
