What's a Focus Assistant?

Self-accountability is hard, so why not outsource it? 

A Focus Assistant’s sole mission is just that: helping you stay focused on your work and accountable to your goals. That means more brainpower for action items, and less for procrastinating!

Working side-by-side on a video call, your Focus Assistant, or FA, helps you break down your work into manageable chunks, while also monitoring and motivating you. They provide a written report of what happens each work session, reinforcing the tried-and-tested science of accountability. Having a new bond with a friendly face who is genuinely invested in your success doesn’t hurt either! All in all, you’re left feeling empowered to work solo, without feeling alone.

What we are:

  • Supervisor
  • Sitter
  • Accountabilibuddy
  • Monitor

What we're not:

  • Therapist
  • Psychologist
  • Personal assistant
  • Coach

Before

  • You select a Focus Assistant, book a session on their calendar, and pay for your session ahead of time.
  • Your new Focus Assistant will reach out to with you with friendly, motivating, and professional messages.

During

  • In the first few minutes, your FA helps you break the work session down into bite-sized tasks, considering the time you have available.
  • Together, you set a goal and reward for the end of the session.
  • You work while sharing your screen and keeping your microphone ON and your camera ON.
  • You maintain a conversational rapport with your FA, thinking out loud and narrating your actions as you feel comfortable.
  • Your FA monitors your workflow and takes notes. They keep you from getting distracted and help you stay on track with encouraging affirmations and support.

After

  • Your work is done!!!
  • You give your Focus Assistant a review and send an optional tip for exceptional service.
  • Your FA’s notes or “Session Report” are sent to you by email within 1 hour of your session.

  • What tasks are most urgent?

2. Seasonal Forecast

  • What’s your strategic plan for the upcoming quarter?
  • Do you need to save money for upcoming purchases?
  • What holidays or other special occasions are coming up?

3. Vision Board

  • What are your goals for the year?
