Focusmate
Focusmate is a lifesaver for me! I struggle with depression and find it difficult to concentrate on studying without ruminating, crying, or feeling even more depressed that I have to study but don't feel like doing it. The irony, right? I tried finding study partners to help, which worked, but people can't always be available. Once I found out about Focusmate, I was on top of my game in everything, including my studies, chores, and sticking to habits like going to bed early and waking up at 5:00 am. I used all types of alarms for the latter, but they didn't help. Now I HAVE TO wake up at 5:00 to get ready for my 6:00 am session. I had always wished for an app like Focusmate. It's funny how I used to always search for an app with an accountability partner, and all the ones I found were either too expensive or didn't actually work. I'm so happy that someone who had the same idea was able to bring it alive in its best form! Thank you, Taylor and team! Special thanks to Nir Eyle, who was the reason for me being here. I totally recommend his book "Indistractble." P.S: I'm so excited for the Matching Preference feature! Now I won't feel guilty when I do chores on Focusmate :D!
