⚙️ HOW IT WORKS

This is an interactive working session. We're going to work together to get lots of work done!

After a brief introduction, I'll set the timer—once I hit start, it's time to focus! No texting, social media, or anything else but the thing you said you'd do, until the timer stops.

We'll then take a break and go again!

👍 WHY THIS IS AWESOME

It's so easy to avoid things in this day and age—the internet gives us unlimited free dopamine at our fingertips at all times!

By resolving to do work you've been avoiding in a group setting, you add an element of structure and accountability that can help you overcome the desire to avoid doing the work.

Plus, you get the added bonus of feeling like you're building momentum with a group of people who are doing the same!

When it works, it can feel like the feeling you get when you run in a race—there's a powerful rush in being in a group of people all committed to heading in the same direction together!

✅ TO-DONE LIST

As we go, we'll compile a list of all the things we achieved. Feel free to post the most minute thing—if it's meaningful to you, then it counts!

When you achieve something, post it to the chat!

📝 PREPARE IN ADVANCE

To get the most out of this, you can start to make a list of things you've been avoiding right now. Put it on a special dedicated page in your notebook, or create a separate note for it in your favorite note-taking app!

Want to really charge things up? Use the "snooze" or "boomerang" feature of your email app to send emails from your inbox to the time this event will take place. It gets them out of your inbox now, and batches them up so they all appear at once, when you're expecting them and ready to deal with them!

🧰 HANDY TOOLS

If you want to bounce emails to your inbox at the time of this event, Gmail has a native "snooze" feature you can use:


Also, I highly recommend Freedom for helping you keep your distractions in check. Their free Chrome app is here:
