Option 1: Automatic matching

Book a virtual co-working focus session of 25, 50 or 75 minutes.

 

Your calendar will show you any FocusCafé members who have already booked sessions and are not yet matched. You have the option to pick one of those sessions.

 

Alternatively, book at a time that works for you, and other FocusCafé members will have the option to select you as a co-working partner for that session. The Focusmate platform will always automatically match you with another FocusCafé member if they are available. If no FocusCafé members are available, the platform will match you with a random Focusmate member.

 

Join the video call at your scheduled time. Greet your partner warmly, share briefly what you are both working on, put it in the chat and get to work! Silently co-work until the timer goes off.

 

At the end of the session, check in with your partner, share your progress and celebrate your wins. ​

Option 2: Match with a colleague or friend.

Invite your friend or colleague to join FocusCafé using the link above.

Send them your personal booking link. To find your personal Focusmate invite link, go to this URL: https://app.focusmate.com/invite

 

Book one or more co-working focus sessions. 

 

Once they sign up, they will be able to see your upcoming sessions and book directly with you.

 

Even if you already have been assigned a “random” match with another Focusmate user, when your friend books a session directly with you, you’ll be matched with your friend instead of your original match.

(Don’t worry about the Focumate user you were originally matched with. The Focusmate algorithm will immediately find them a new partner)

Option 3: Favorites

Meet someone on Focusmate and want to work with them again?

 

Click the star in the upper left by your partner’s name and make them a favorite.

 

Be sure to invite them to join the FocusCafé community by subscribing here.

 

Once you’ve marked a few people as favorites, be sure to go to  "Availability" in Settings>Preferences (under your profile photo) and select "Favorites" to allow them to see your availability. They will then be able to book with your directly. You can also invite them to make you a Favorite so that you can see their sessions and book with them.

 

Even if you do not manually book with a Favorite, the Focusmate algorithm will try to match you with those favorite partners whenever possible. 

 

You can also mark a partner as a favorite from their profile page or from the people page within Focusmate.
