focused space Reviews 13

Focused Space makes it easier to stay organized and actually follow through on goals without feeling stressed or boxed in.
It's simple to use, helps structure your day, and adds wellness and just the right amount of accountability.
Definitely one of the best tools out there for building better habits.
We’re grateful to have FS as part of the resources we recommend to clients.

I have tried one other body doubling website and am happy to be a member of Focused Space!

The structured and hosted sessions are great. The hosts are engaging and encouraging. The members are interesting professionals. The time length of the sessions is long enough to get something done and short enough to remind you to stop watching YouTube videos and get back to your initial goal for the session.

I do wish they had more hosted sessions on the weekends and after 6pm on the weekdays. The morning ones start at 4am PT!! On the flip side, the existing offering encourages me to get things done earlier in the day and during the week instead of the weekend. If I have too much time, I get easily distracted.

The existing hosted sessions are valuable enough for me to switch from a monthly membership to an annual one.

I highly recommend Focused Space to friends.

Focus Space is an amazing community to help with goal setting, body doubling and weekly/monthly planning. My ability to focus while working from home has improved so much since finding this community. I would give them 100 stars if possible!!

Focused Space has completely changed my life for the better! I went from being a teacher for 13+ years where I had a really rigorous and set schedule that kept me on track to working from home and needing to set my own time and deadlines. Focused Space has not only helped me to hone in on priority tasks and feel accomplished in my work, but it has also brought me happiness and a community while working remotely.

Whether I attend their wake up calls where I set my intentions and goals for the day, or a community work session where I'm given the space to focus for a set time, FS consistently provides tools and guidance that help me be my best self and fulfill my potential.

I can honestly say that, ever since beginning to work from home, I have never felt more productive, joyful, and at peace as I do when I work with the FS community.

What to expect:
-Guided goal setting
-Assistance with time allocation and task prioritization
-Mindfulness and meditation (a crucial reset for our brains before diving into deep work)
-Movement to help reset the body
-Themed weeks honing in on specific aspects of goal completion and work flows
-Resources and skills to use outside of FS
-An extremely supportive community cheering for each others' successes whether they be big or small

Focused Space has been such an incredible resource for me as a student and business owner. The daily wake up calls are sooo helpful and having co-working sessions available all day are amazing to help with focus and getting things done. Love this membership!!

Focus I find to be a fantastic addition for me to get things done. I work alone and often times I can get stuck as I don't have any one or any thing to push me in those moments. Focus allows me to be with a group of people virtually, share what I am working on, state my goals and inspires me to feel part of a community so I have support to get things done. Additionally I find the moderator Scott Colby to be fantastic at leading the sessions. From my perspective he knows how to motivate me in a positive way even when I haven't completed what I said I would. He is very inspiring for me. Finding focus has really been life changing for me and can't be happier to be part of this community/group.

For people with ADHD - there are many different methods of getting work done. There's body doubling (the act of having another person present - it helps with accountability), the pomodoro method (timed work sprints with timed breaks in between), sub-tasking (breaking down a big task into smaller little tasks so it's more digestible), accountability buddies (where someone intentionally checks in on you and your goals to help keep you on track). And don't forget... having a support group helps with ADHD too.

Would you believe that focused space has ALL OF THESE THINGS bundled into your membership? Literally all of them. You can join community sessions at most hours of the day to body-double with other people like you. In those sessions, you also set goals and break them down into smaller goals, and work on those goals using the pomodoro method. You can also join wake-up calls (or weekly/monthly planning sessions) to set goals outside of the community sessions. Additionally, if you want your facilitator to email you at the end of the day to check in on you and your goals, you can do that too. All of this is led by focused space facilitators (and all of them are amazing - Scott is my favorite) who are incredibly supportive and a joy to work alongside. They all run things a little differently. The reason Scott is my favorite is because he has a big emphasis on gratitude in his sessions, and also likes to get us out of our chairs for guided stretching and breathing.

Focused Space, and Scott, have a very special place in my heart. I get by getting things done at work, but I REALLY struggle getting things done at home. It dawned on me one day I could use the space to try and tackle some chores around the house. Now, I start most mornings on Scott's 8:30AM community session - which means by the time I start work, my kitchen is clean and I've usually gotten some meal prep done too. This means I'm starting my day doing something for my family instead of my employer, AND since meals are prepped, I get more time with my husband in the evening.

SO many wins all around by using this space. It is worth every single penny. The only way you could possibly regret it is by forgetting to actually use it. I cannot recommend enough!

I started using focused about 2 years ago and have stuck with it ever since. I work hybrid and on the days I’m at home, it can be difficult to structure my day. The focused hosts and community help me to prioritize the tasks that need to get done that day and reduce anxiety about my workload. I would absolutely recommend this service to anyone who could use more support and structure in their day — it’s been invaluable for my mental health and has staved off burn out crashes by reminding me to take breaks throughout the day. Before each session we do a short meditation - the hosts do an excellent job of compassionately guiding you to get through your goals.

Focused Space is essential to working from home for me! I worked from home full-time since 2020, and now I own and operate my own business. In both scenarios, Focused Space has offered structure, support, and community. I love the emphasis on mindfulness and doing what works best for the individual. Whenever I have a lot of work on my plate, I make a point to schedule some wake-up calls and community sessions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is not a standard coworking membership, just to be clear. This is the space where you are able to find consistent and kind online community. Their team really helps you stay intentional about working with purpose (instead of just working because the work needs done) and reminding you to get some movement in while you do. Each focused session is led by humans who are so cool. They ask about what you're up to and really care to hear from you. I found Focused Space via their advertisements on Instagram and have been to many sessions over the last couple of months. I can confidently attribute much of recent productivity and decrease in career stress to those sessions, to the Focused Space team, and to the session hosts. Beyond the session benefits, FS' prioritization of tech improvements is amazing, too. They are constantly working to expand their app and website to better fit member needs and I know that's not easy to do. Thanks for all you do FS!

focused space has been ridiculously useful for me in the years since it started. Transformative even? Before using it, I wasn't really aware how much I had been working on "auto-pilot" - unconsciously, without intention, just putting out fires. Since starting, I've been more consistently/effectively making the hard decisions about what to prioritize, managing my time carefully, approaching work with mindfulness and patience. It's upped my effectiveness and happiness at work in general, which has been increasingly mandatory as I've spent more time remote, and taken on new responsibilities. I'm super grateful for focused space and their awesome team.

I have been using Focused space almost every day. It has been fantastic. The people leading the sessions are caring and insightful and working as a group has been an amazing help. I highly recommend them.

What a lovely product. It's live meetings with other people and a facilitator. They use body-doubling, so if you're not familiar, it's where someone else is there, deeply working and you're also working (this will be online of course) but you can get many projects done. Goal setting. Positive reinforcement.
Think of it this way, if you get distracted and doing your chores takes all day, this is a site that has meetings all day long that you can hop onto, and other people are doing focused work. You have a leader, you set your goals, and you get things done. It's like having a little community online.
