👋 Hey everyone! First of all, thanks @robjama a lot for hunting MyFocusSpace! We're psyched to be here. My name is Vio and together with @mistreanu_ionut, @saintandy, @vlad_cerna we are building MyFocusSpace, a virtual co-working space that will change the way we work remotely. It’s tough to stay focused - especially in 2021. - Many of us are all working remotely - You may face overwhelming tasks - There’s probably at least one dreaded item on your to-do list - You’re likely working alone from home and have to deal with distractions, isolation, mental fatigue. With MyFocusSpace, you can find an accountability buddy to work with at any time, anywhere, on-demand via 1-hour, 1.5-hour, or 2-hour video sessions. Step 1: We pair you with a partner, and you each commit to what you'll work on for that session. Step 2: At the beginning of the session, you'll briefly share with your partner what you will be working on and then quickly get to finishing your tasks. Step 3: At the end of the session, regardless of the length of it, have the chance to let your partner know how your session went, and even exchange interesting ideas and thoughts about your projects. Features you will love: 🔗 1. Share Calendar - Share the time slots you are available to work alongside your friend. ⌛ 2. Pick your session length - Decide what works best for you. 👐 3. Group matching - Be matched only with members from a private group. 🤩 4. Analytics insights - Keep track of your progress in beating bad habits! 🙋 5. Invite a friend - Get extra sessions for every friend you invite. If you have any comments or ideas, or feedback I'll be super happy to exchange with you guys, so feel free to comment below and tell us what you think about it. 🙌😻 We appreciate any support. https://www.myfocusspace.com/💙 —Vio P.S. ❤️ We have a great deal for Product Hunt, too: Apply the code FOCUSHUNT and get 1 month free.

@viorica_vanica Here's our story: Last year hit us hard, as the covid-19 pandemic forced us to start working remotely. At first, we enjoyed the extra time we got due to not having to commute for at least 1 hour a day, and for a little while, we felt more productive on our daily tasks. But that began to drop suddenly after a couple of weeks. Home as we used to know it, became our office. Somehow we started to work longer hours, not because we had more work to do, but mostly because we found ourselves doing all sort of other things while working. (not efficient, I know) Not to mention we started to miss interacting with other people. That brought up the questions: Were we the only ones with this kind of problems? It turned out: Some of us were unable to start working in the morning as they used to do back in the days when they had to commute. They were procrastinating with their tasks until late in the day, being unable to fully disconnect from work and relax. Others felt they had a hard time working on longer tasks and developed some bad habits of distracting themselves with news, social media, video platform etc. Some started to feel very lonely after a few weeks of working only from home. Even those who were used to remote work. They all wanted to connect or meet/see new people. Others realized how more productive they could be when working from home and simply wanted to become even more effective with their time and focus. That's what made us design MyFocusSpace: A virtual environment that we are building as the go-to place to get things done. If you are a procrastinator, a deep worker, or someone that simply works better around others, this platform is for you. What's our philosophy? - We want form MyFocusSpace to give you the flexibility you need. You can either start your day by doing sessions with a peer to get in the flow or keep pushing yourself at the end of the day and have some solo sessions in the middle. It is up to you how you plan and use it. - We don't want to stop here. - We are building this product for ourselves first because we didn't find something that checks all the problems. We believe that going from procrastination to deep work is something that is worth pursuing.

Quite simply, it was one of the best products I saw on Product Hunt this year. MyFocusSpace has the potential to change your life for the better. Why do I know that? Because that's kind of what it did for me.

why not add continuous queueing? you should be able to start a session whenever you enter the app, rather than waiting for scheduled hourly/etc sessions.

@aidan_torrence Thank you Aidan for your feedback. It's super valuable for us. I will be very honest with you and say that it's harder to match people without having a buffer of time when they can apply, at least at this stage.

I'm a writer and MyFocusSpace got me back to sending weekly updates to my subscribers. I used to send emails only on occasions which weren't super exciting for my audience. But since I hoped on MyFocusSpace seven weeks ago, I've never missed a weekly update. I also did some digging about the science behind it and it freaking works. I love it and think many other people also will.

If you are a procrastinator, a deep worker, or someone that simply works better around others, this platform is for you. How does it work? - You book sessions in your calendar that can be **solo** or **paired with members from our community** - The sessions have a fixed time limit to enforce a good habit of **work** and **rest** - For the paired sessions, we try our best to match you with people that have similar working preferences based on their profile - At the end of the session, you get to rate your productivity and have it displayed in the analytics panel. This way, you get insights that will help you dive into deep work more often. What's our philosophy? - We want form MyFocusSpace to give you the flexibility you need. You can either start your day by doing sessions with a peer to get in the flow or keep pushing yourself at the end of the day and have some solo sessions in the middle.

If you find our solution interesting and you relate to our mission, we would love to get your feedback and make MyFocusSpace better!

So happy to see that you launched the app here. I discovered MyFocusSpace a few months ago when I was struggling to finish my research paper. For me, the hardest part about getting things done is to start working and not postponing for "tomorrow" (the tomorrow that becomes next month). I am still using it since then and I totally recommend it. My productivity increased and I managed to finish a lot of tasks in half of the time given. And I also met great people on the platform who helped to boost my motivation.
