Side Hustle Spark 310: focusmate.com

I thought I would explore the ‘benefits’ of social pressure, precommitment, and accountability.

So I just signed up with focusmate.com.

My other blog shares more about it.

If you’re encountering procrastination and resistance–even with New Year’s resolutions still fresh on the page–give this a try.

Three free sessions per week…just think how much you can get done in 150 minutes in the ‘presence’ of a remote work partner who is hammering away at his/her own project.

My first appointment is this coming Friday. Will let you know how it turns out.

Reminder: No affiliate links. Just thought it might be something that might help you crank out the next best seller/mega-corporation/cinematic masterpiece.

I merrily traipse along sharing good side hustler stuff with you and it took me 280+ posts before I shared something from Marie Forleo?
