Taylor Jacobson – Team Focusmate

Hello, dear PH and Focusmate community! Taylor from Focusmate here. So much has changed in the 4 years since our first launch. Unfortunately, being focused and productive while working alone still remains a huge challenge for millions of people. The reality is that human beings are just not wired to perform without structure, accountability, and connection. That’s probably why our first...

Awesome product and team! How have you adapted from in-person to remote?

Really excited about the progress. Calendar power users unite :) Interested to hear the latest on - using keyboard instead of mouse for faster workflows - reminders workflow that works with Google Cal and syncs between desktop and mobile These were the 2 things that got me stuck in the past.

Congrats on the launch Justin. YAC rocks!! Excited to see where you take this.

Fantastic product out of the gate. We're still discovering new use cases for our fully remote team. Excited to see what's next.

Very excited for a Superhuman-like product for calendar, which I use even more than email. I've been using it for about a month, and I would say it's excellent for iPhone users. The snags I've hit are no Android app, no reminders, and slightly clunkly keyboard shortcuts. I am definitely going to be following this product and using it more as it improves.

So grateful for this new book. The bottom line for me is that I can make it much easier for myself to focus by changing a bunch of environmental factors. I thought I was good at this, and I still learned a lot. Thank you @nireyal !

@gistsy_app most successful startups begin with zero marketing budget. We used guerrilla marketing to build a user community that helped power the Focusmate crowdfunding campaign, https://republic.co/focusmate.
