I've been using Centered for about a month. My productivity has been increased and I work faster! I write my daily tasks, I choose a piece of music and I'm ready. No distractions or unnecessary thoughts. 100% recommended.

I just registered. But I will comment BEFORE using it. I would like to share some thoughts I always have regarding productivity tools in general. Basically: I love them. The problem is that the space is too crowded and I am generally afraid of them becoming a (one more) procrastination factor. Would I try this if I had not seen the @chrismessina amazing comment? Maybe not. I am working with Todoist + Session and in general it works pretty fine for me. But I guess I love to procrastinate trying new stuff :) See you later!

@chrismessina @ivan_fanego So excited to hear what you think. Our guide Noah will remind you next time you visit PH during a flow session with a gentle British accent asking you whether "Producthunt can wait". See you in Flow!

@chrismessina @ulf_schwekendiek I liked a lot the first impression. 15 mins, it was not the moment. Heading later for a flow ;)
Sammi Geraci-Yee
@ivan_fanego Well we are glad and so grateful that we had @chrismessina hunt us! I look forward to connecting with you once you get in a few more Flow sessions. See you in Flow!!

When I need to get something done, I’m using Centered! I’ve tried hundreds of “productivity apps” but few have actually impacted my true ability to get things done like getting into the flow state with Centered. From the focus inducing music, to friendly nudges and distraction blocking, it’s my favorite work companion. Also this team ships fast! The beta community is engaged with constructive feedback and it shows up in the weekly product updates. Keep it up @ulf_schekendiek and team! 🚀

I've honestly tried practically everything in existence to streamline my focus, attention, productivity and mental acuity to squeeze as much productivity as humanly possible into every moment I was working. With my background in freelance UIUX, I was used to having at least 5 to 6 projects/clients I was working on at a time. When I originally found out about monotasking and pomodoro technique, binaural beats and the concept of Flow State, I went deep and came up with a pretty decent workflow for me that took many years of trial and error to refine. I was using diff techniques like breathing and meditation, dialing in my diet and exercise and my own mashup of diff apps, music, timers, specific noise cancelling headphones, the right work environment, the right office space etc etc... all the little things that I thought were key in helping me be ultra productive. A good friend of mine told me about Centered. (oddly enough Steven and I were connected in a past life when I was freelancing full time and I was excited to hear about what he was working on!) Everything clicked! It was like someone had taken all my 10+ tools, techniques and ideas and brought them into 1 place! I was getting into my projects faster and easier, I was staying focused and on task and when I did happen to stray from my focus, the Centered virtual coach (Noah) gently (and sort of relentlessly at the same time) nudged me to get back to it! He knew which apps I was using were on and off task and he oriented me while I was in my Flow State as to how much time I had spent and how much time I had left! This gave me a MASSIVE productivity lift! I was able to stay in the zone and laser focused, but I also wasn't lost in my deep work just spinning on my project for hours and hours on end (Feels productive, but actually isn't if there's no end!) I can absolutely confirm it's a total productivity game changer and am so excited that there are others out there that are obsessed with getting their work done in record time by being ultra productive and getting some of that extra time back to spend in their personal lives. (For me it's with my wife and kids enjoying the outdoors!) 🙏

Our life is filled with notifications, distractions, and interruptions. I have tried multiple productivity apps, to-do lists, and all the different hacks, none of them worked better than Centered. Centered helped me block out these noises and get things done! I have been using Centered for over a month now and my PRODUCTIVITY SKYROCKETED! I can't thank enough for the team for bringing my focus back. I hope you can focus again too!
