• How tf do I stop being lazy and stop wasting my life away???

  I struggle with similar feelings. For desk/at home work, the Focusmate app (focusmate.com) has been a huge help. It kind of single-handedly helped me earn back trust in myself. You get 1:1 virtual coworking sessions with another user where you follow a friendly entry/exit protocol, tell each other what your plans are and how it went at the end, and keep your camera on the whole time while you work (usually muted)....

• How do you connect with coworkers when working remote?

  Maybe you can get your company to create a Focusmate group or a discord channel? If you haven’t heard of Focusmate you should definitely check it out. I wfh and absolutely could not do so without it. It gives me a fix for interaction but not too much to get me distracted and it also helps remind me to take breaks. Source: about 1 year ago

• [LPT Request] 38M, feeling lost and stagnant. How can I make a significant change in my life?

  Hey, I'm not sure if you work from home / remotely but if you are trying to achieve something from home, I'll just tell you about something that has really helped me: A co-working site like focusmate.com has been a game-changer for me.

  Ive seen something like this its focusmate. I tried it once few years ago, back then it's only a one on one session. Not sure if they support something like yours. Source: about 1 year ago

• What's your #1 ADHD life hack?

  Not saying it works for everyone, but the system I have worked out for myself is strength training 3-5 days/week during my lunch break at work. I have an hour lunch, so I can usually work in about 30 min of exercise, and I eat at my desk after. I use fitbod to generate workouts for me. It's not perfect, but I can easily change the workout based on what I'm feeling. It also keeps track of your workouts and can post... Source: 12 months ago

• Fitness app review

  I've started using a new fitness app, Fitbod (https://fitbod.me/). I've only logged a couple workouts so far but am a pretty big fan of the app right away. My favorite thing is that I can set up multiple "gyms" in the app and define what each equipment has in it (my crappy station gym vs my decent home gym vs the local commercial gym I go to) and have it auto-generate workouts for me. It's smart enough to know... Source: about 1 year ago

• Ottawa personal trainer/fitness coach

  Now I workout at home and I use Fitbod that’s almost like a virtual personal trainer. You could try the free trial while you find a trainer. Source: about 1 year ago

• Do you need a trainer when hitting the gym?

  I really liked FitBod. It's $79.99/year. You can select the equipment available to you, and the app will generate the relevant workouts, adapting over time. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: People who strength train from home can you describe your journey?

  For what it’s worth, I’ll mention what works for me. I have no interest in any companies or products mentioned below other than using them and finding them useful. I’ve weight-trained for decades and switched up my routine during the pandemic. I have only a small room available at home for this, which I also use as an office and music studio. So, not a lot of space. I bought a pair of Bowflex SelectTech 552s... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
