So far, the solution that has worked for me has been Focusmate (https://www.focusmate.com/ https://www.focusmate.com/).
It's like Omegle for focus. Pick a time slot and pair up with someone to be accountable together.
You can get more information on how it works here https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-46624137 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-46624137
You can also book a session with me if you like. https://www.focusmate.com/i/nLUDAIR5oh/calendar https://www.focusmate.com/i/nLUDAIR5oh/calendar
- snthpy 4y agoI've been curious about these kinds of services for a while. Genuine question: do you not end up just chatting with your paired partner?
- ppjim 4y agoSo far it has not happened to me. You only speak before starting and at the end. During the session we both mute our microphones.
- emberfiend 4y agoIt's very bad form (and against the rules) to make chat the focus. You will eventually get reported if you do it a lot. A short chat at the end is fine. The session template is: brief greeting > outline what you're gonna do > wish the other person well > mute mics and get stuff done for the bulk of the session > end of session chime sounds > share how well you did (and here you can chat for 2-4 mins if both parties are keen)
