How I Work

Focus! Why Taylor Jacobson founded Focusmate to force himself to concentrate


Listen Later

Have you worked with someone whose abilities were so awe-inspiring that they started to rub off on you? We’ve all had bosses, co-workers, friends or study mates whose discipline we’ve tried to tap into before. 

And Taylor Jacobson founded Focusmate so he could do that forever! After excelling in college because of his carefully selected study mates, Taylor realised his tactics could be used by anyone, and for any kind of work. 

He details how and why a Focusmate session works, how he uses them himself, and how he balances all that work with restful, restorative time off. 

He also shares how a new community has changed his life and the way he thinks about and tackles goals.
