I find Centered to be an incredibly useful tool for getting into flow. It's dastardly good at catching me when I go off task and gently nudges me back to what I was doing. It's like having one of those cartoony angels sitting on my shoulder and smacking me (lovingly) on the side of my head every time I get distracted by a DM or want to "check Twitter real quick". Strongly recommended!

Centered is my favorite productivity hack, so much so that I gifted it to our entire team! It's a total game changer, especially when everyone is working from home where there could be a million distractions all the time. Centered keeps me sane and productive. You should try it out if you haven't.

@ulf_schwekendiek Interesting product! Wondering what Flow music is and whether it's included in the free plan :)

The first time I ran Centered, it immediately clicked for me. The psychological nudges, the sense of community, the music... everything. For me, it combines all of the positive social pressures of working physically at an office, with none of the distractions. When they asked me to come work at the team at Centered, I was delighted! The product continues to grow so much, and we have so much planned on our roadmap that is going to make Centered the goto app for knowledge worker productivity. See you all in Flow! 💚

I've been actively using Centered for the past few weeks and can confirm it has certainly streamlined my productivity. I'm glad that through this product I've found a community of people who are looking for a space to get stuff done! By getting into my flow state, through guided advice, music, and timers, the application allows me to actually focus on tasks that I've been putting off for weeks and get them done efficiently. The recent feed feature lets me see what my friends are working on and receive validation from my friends on my completed tasks. Looking forward to see what Centered builds next and where they go in the future!

@mubarak_hassan Great to see you in Flow so often! Keep it up!

Believe it or not, Centered kind of helped me get out of a procrastination rut! I love it already and will definitely get premium. Would love to see it integrate with ClickUp/Notion in the future so I don't have to manually add tasks
Ulf Schwekendiek
@praneet_rohida1 We're working on deeper integrations into Clickup and Notion and some others, but in the meantime we parse Notion and Things3s TODO format:
Erik Rasmussen
@praneet_rohida1 We have a Notion-user on our team that is *dying* to add that integration. Thanks for the review!
Nicolas Carlo
@praneet_rohida1 @erik_rasmussen Yep, that's me! Heavy Notion user here and integrating with the tool is definitely part of my plan 🚀

I've been using Centered for more than a week now and it did *wonders* for my focus in endlessly distracted world, I highly, highly recommend it!
Erik Rasmussen
@tlakomy It's so fun flowing with you! It seems silly, but knowing I'm working at the same time as my friends makes me feel closer to them.

Before Centered, I tried toggl, manual time tracking, using my fitbit timer and so many others to help me stay on track and get work done within a set amount of time. I've been using Centered for a month and love the process working with it. It's been an integral part of my deep work sessions. The lists of todos are so easy to set up, delete and if need be, make a task recurring. That's it. No crazy extensive features, just the essential in a seamless experience with a pretty dashboard. The flow sessions are simple, I choose what I'll do and estimate the time it'll take and start. If I need more time, I add it. If I'm over time, I'll get a verbal reminder from a nice voice. There are also reminders to take breaks and getting ready for the next session. I love how it has exactly everything I need, without additional noise or a focus on trying to do more work just for the sake of. Being more effective is definitely a side effect however. There are additional time tracking stats that you can access and if you're into social accountability, you can see who is flowing at the same time as you! In all, thank you to the Centered team for making this and looking forward to what you'll do next :D
