But I sat there, trying to break down what had just happened. I should have stood up and stretched my legs. It’s good for our brains! See you back here in five.” I urge you not to try to work through it-if you sit at a desk, get up and get moving. “Okay everybody! Good job! Time for our first five minute break.
That never happens!Ī beautiful tone that sounded like a wind chime played over the lofi hip-hop. And it had been, literally, 100% productive time. Then I looked up and the timer said “1 minute left.” After a while I typed something I was proud of. I even felt funny yawning.)īut the weirdest thing happened next. I tried to stop looking at myself in my camera feed, like I’ve done in every Zoom meeting for the last three years. I let the lofi hip-hop carry me to a place of light focus. What was this place? And why did I suddenly have such an intense urge to get some work done? Screens flashed before their eyes as they opened word documents and spreadsheets. I watched peoples’ eyes through their cameras. Then she started a timer-25 minutes and counting. Good luck, and I’ll see you in 25 minutes!” We’re gonna go ahead and get started on our first sprint of the day. “I’m so glad to see you all here today! It’s a great day to get some important work done. And multiple people were working on screenplays. Another was grading papers for a high school history class. Someone was reviewing last quarter’s sales figures. People had written their day’s goals in the chat box to share with the room. My eyes flitted over to a little chat room on the side of the screen.
“I see some familiar faces and some new ones, and I see some people have already stated their intention in the chat box.” “Good morning, good morning! Welcome to the RescueTime Guided Focus Session.” I recognized the voice as Erin, part of our customer success team at RescueTime. And today was my first time trying it out. It’s the new, free, guided focus experience we’ve started here at RescueTime, in collaboration with our friends at Workfrom. It was like the entire experience had been curated-like everyone in this room had been there for an hour, and I just walked in.Ī RescueTime Guided Focus Session was about to begin. There was pleasant lofi hip-hop music playing in the background. I heard the little ring of a bell-like I had opened an actual door at an actual business. My alarm went off, and in the span of three minutes I shuffled out of bed, sat at my desk, clicked a button, and entered into a virtual coffee shop. It was 6:55am on the West Coast-and I had somewhere to be at 7am.
