JOIN OUR FOCUSED VIRTUAL CO-WORKING SESSIONS
Honor your time.
Focus on what matters.
Nourish your big ideas.
Our facilitated sessions are designed to support sustained focus, deal with distraction in a healthy way, and create spaciousness in the midst of competing responsibilities.
SET ASIDE DISTRACTIONS. CELEBRATE FOCUS.
Focused Virtual Co-Working Sessions open up a nourishing space for you to find your flow,
dedicate time to your passion projects, and emerge feeling energized and accomplished.
You’ll build community with fellow visionaries and changemakers,
increase your depth of focus, and nurture your attention span.
WHY YOU NEED FOCUS IN
Produce quality work.
We aren't here to hack your brain, and we value more than productivity at any cost. Our facilitated focus sessions encourage high-quality work without burnout.
Build community.
Independent, remote work can be lonely. Our facilitators build in time to check in with changemakers and visionaries who are pursuing their passions alongside you.
Nurture your power.
Proven strategies pair timed, intense focus with guided breaktime activities to ensure your focus time refills your cup rather than leaving you drained.
Honor your passion.
By setting aside dedicated calendar time, you prioritize what matters most. Committing to your project helps align your values and actions.
Your Schedule for Focus
We offer 1, 2, and 3-hour live sessions each week with our facilitators and other Focus In members.

HOW FOCUS IN WORKS
Grounding & Noticing
Physically grounding yourself at the beginning of the session and then noticing your body, thoughts, and emotions throughout the session helps you refocus when your mind wanders, notice when you are having thoughts that aren’t what you want, and helps you recognize when you physically need something instead of turning to distracting, mindless, unfulfilling activity. Let’s notice our needs and fulfill them.
Mono-tasking
We help you mono-task or focus on one task or project at a time and not switching back and forth between these "contexts." Mono-tasking is the opposite of multi-tasking.
Because multitasking or context switching has these immediate negative impacts:
- Reduced productivity
- Diminished attention
- Decreased cognitive function
- Depleted energy
- Convoluted priorities
Body Doubling
Having someone sitting with you (even virtually) helps you accomplish tasks because you feel a sense of accountability and you can mirror that person’s focus and energy.
We also have you report on what your task or project is at the beginning of each session and then at the end to give you even more of a sense of accountability.
Taking True Breaks
We break our sessions up into focused work blocks and breaks. We let you know the schedule up front, post which segment we're in on the screen as we're in it, and we announce breaks and work block starts.
We actively encourage you to truly take your break, get up, stretch, move around, do a non-screen related task, and attend to your body's needs during breaks.

“That was amazing! I really needed that focus time. I am easily distracted, so having a time that I am guilt free for focusing was wonderful! 10 out of 10.”

“I had to shift to another priority project, but I still focused well on that. I love the structured approach, and I like the sense of community too, even if we don't personally engage.”
