• 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. For some reason my productivity / commitment shoots up when I'm working alongside someone. Hope this helps. Source: about 1 year ago

  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
