FocusMate
=========

So I've been using the service focusmate
for a few sessions a week the last few
weeks.

The tl;dr is that it's a way to set up
appointments where you cowork with
another person for either 25 or 50
minutes. The culture of it is that you
announce to each other what you're going
to work on at the beginning and then at
the end of the session talk about how it
went.

It works shockingly well to help you
focus because basically you're aware of
the other person until you start to get
into the zone and then once you're there
you only really are aware of it when you
start to flag and are tempted to get up,
check twitter (my personal vice, &c.

I'm going to try and keep doing a
session or two a day for when I have
something I really need to concentrate
on.
