FLOWN & Access To Work
Assessor guide
For busy professionals with ADHD, focusing on important work can be especially difficult.
People with ADHD are…
🎯 More likely to experience lifelong difficulties with focus
🎯 Five times more likely to struggle with obtaining and maintaining
employment as a result
🎯 Three to six times more likely to suffer multiple burnouts
🎯 Three times more likely to experience anxiety or depression
How does FLOWN help?
Flown runs online focus sessions designed around key insights from behavioural science to help trigger sustained bouts of concentration.
Along with 80+ hours of live, facilitated focus sessions weekly, our platform also features live and on-demand sessions and content to help members unwind, manage stress and recharge.
FLOWN is regularly awarded to people via the Access To Work scheme – many of our members enjoy FLOWN thanks to the grant. Our mission is to help everyone get more done and feel good doing it.
How FLOWN enables focus…
1
Social accountability
At the start of focus sessions, users commit to tasks in small groups.
2
Monotasking
Members are encouraged to concentrate on one thing at a time – combatting overwhelm and encouraging deeper focus
3
Body doubling
Members work together on Zoom, using 'body doubling', a technique often recommended to people with ADHD.
4
Time blocking
Scheduled time for staying on task brings greater structure to the member's work day.
5
Hawthorne Effect
Members are encouraged to stay on camera so that they feel the accountability provided by the group.
"I've personally found a lot of benefit from using FLOWN and have been happy to recommend it to both staff and students at the University of Birmingham."
Dr Karen Guldberg, Head of the Department of Disability, Inclusion and Special Needs (DISN) at the School of Education, University of Birmingham
Proven benefits of FLOWN
FLOWN is not another productivity strategy, learning resource or version of a to-do list. It is a tool that can be used while you work to enhance focus, structure the day, and get important work done.
Our members thrive with FLOWN
I've grappled with ADHD all my life. I find the FLOWN structure really helpful in stimulating productivity throughout my week. It's helped me progress through some intense episodes of distraction and procrastination.
Ivan Carr
Managing Director
FLOWN's focus sessions completely changed how I work. I'm more productive now than I have been for a long time – maybe ever. I am setting and meeting achievable goals, which increases my confidence.
Hari Berrow
PhD student & scriptwriter
I've got severe ADHD so my work is often interrupted and I frequently feel stressed and overwhelmed. FLOWN helps me work calmly, get through my admin, and achieve more than I'd do on my own.

Key use cases
ADHD
People who have or suspect they have ADHD find that FLOWN helps them stay on task, often while they go through the lengthy process for getting a formal diagnosis.
Mental health
FLOWN's toolkit can help people with emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress. Time management, social interaction, and accountability are all central to the platform.
Physical disability
People who are unable to go to a physical workplace and are confined to a WFH lifestyle often struggle with work-life boundaries and focus. FLOWN provides solutions for both.
