What are Flocks?
Flocks are digital co-working spaces, designed to free you from distraction and get more done. They are one of FLOWN's many tools for helping you achieve deep work.
Run on Zoom and guided by one of our expert facilitators, Flocks are unique, fun – and so effective that 88% of our members who try them come back for more.
We run three sessions every weekday, each with a different style and focus.
Join our Deep Work Resolution Challenge
Join 5 Flocks per week throughout January and build a healthy deep work habit that will have you work smarter, not harder. To help you achieve this goal, you also get to pick one of our Flock facilitators as a guide to motivate you along the way and guide you through to success.
How Flocks work
1. Pick the sessions and dates you'd like to attend, and we'll send you calendar invites so your deep work time is blocked out. No pesky meetings eat into your work day.
2. Join the Flock using the Zoom link in the calendar invite, and you'll be part of a session with other like-minded professionals and our vibrant Flocks facilitators.
3. State your goals briefly to a small group of fellow ‘Flockers’. Then it's time to focus and work, in the silent presence of your Flock.
4. Keep your camera on. You’ll be amazed at the effect seeing other people work has on your own productivity.
5. Take a break halfway through - your facilitator will lead a short, fun interlude – to give your brain and body the right kind of invigoration.
6. Share how much you achieved of your session goals at the end of the Flock. Knowing you have to do this is a great incentive to stay focused throughout.
The psychology behind Flocks
Shared intentions
Starting your day by stating intentions and goals makes you more likely to hold yourself accountable to achieve them.
Focus together
Virtual co-working may feel weird initially! But working silently with a group of people makes you more likely to focus and get your stuff done faster.
Hit your goals
Prioritising time each day to do deep work makes you much more likely to get important and meaningful work done!
Diverse thinkers
Being exposed (virtually) to a diverse group of people can lead to more out-of-the-box thinking.
Helping our members work deeper
"Increases my confidence"
FLOWN has completely changed how I work. A few hours of really meaningful deep work helps me feel like I’m really achieving something. 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.

"Mental space and energy"
Without Deep Dives, I'm not sure I would've had the mental space and energy to prepare for a new round of fundraising for my startup. The intention setting and group accountability aspects are incredibly powerful – I exit each session feeling productive and inspired.

"Moments of connection"
What I get from Flocks: concentration, productivity and… connection! FLOWN has a magic formula that helps me focus, while weaving in moments of connection – wonderful for remote workers. I came straight off the session and messaged my whole 40+ team to recommend it.

"Fascinating idea"
"Joined my first Flocks session with FLOWN today and would definitely recommend trying it out it if you’re looking to boost your productivity or find a space for deep work. Fascinating idea combining many elements of positive psychology to fuel great work."
Clare InksterStrategic planner
"Sprint towards progress"
I love FLOWN and encourage my team to get stuck into the platform. As a team, we use Flocks to focus together and sprint towards progress. It's a no-brainer for me as a business leader because it also improves their sense of wellbeing at work.
Dan MurrayCo-founder, Heights
"Proud of my achievements"
I used to struggle heavily with anxiety driven by to-do list worries and since working with FLOWN that has completely stopped. In fact, it's gone so far the other way that I feel proud of my achievements come the end of the day and switch off happily – that is HUGE for me and my mental health compared to the past.

"Focus on big tasks"
FLOWN is perfect to focus on big tasks. I get the headspace to get stuck in without being distracted by calls and emails. I get work done in less time than it would take me previously just by cutting out the distractions. Having that time in my diary means people leave me alone to complete tasks.

"The key to developing a deep work habit is to move beyond good intentions and add routines and rituals to your working life designed to minimize the amount of your limited willpower necessary to transition into and maintain a state of unbroken concentration."

Flocks FAQs
I’m so busy, how am I meant to take two hours off?!
That’s sort of the point. If you don't have time to join Flocks, it means you probably aren't getting time to do your actual work. Flocks aren’t about taking time off – they’re about making time to do the work that’s going to make the biggest difference. We recommend booking sessions in a week or more ahead of time, so your precious deep work time is locked in, and your day isn't eaten up with meetings, calls and emails. In the end, you'll get more done this way.
I don’t want to be on camera with people I don’t know…
You don’t have to be if you really don’t want to… but if everybody turned their cameras off it wouldn’t work so well. Actually seeing your accountability group makes a massive difference – it triggers motivation, and puts you under a positive kind of pressure to succeed.
My house/flat/study is a mess! How can I be on Zoom with strangers?
We can relate. But we don’t care, and nor do your fellow Flockers! The pandemic means that everybody is used to people working in messy kitchens or with dogs, kids, and flatmates poking their noses into their meetings. Flocks improve your focus and productivity. Zone out your environment and do some deep work!
I don’t want to present my workplan to people I don’t know!
Your fellow Flockers are NOT your boss. Flocks are about supportive accountability – so you don’t need a sophisticated presentation in your intentions. Just talk for a minute about what you intend to get done. The very act of sharing it out loud is scientifically proven to improve your chances of actually doing it.
