    Body doubling sessions

    Observing others do things triggers your brain to follow suit. It's why you yawn when somebody else yawns and why we feel more productive in a library.

    Trigger the 'mirror neurons' in your brain to boost your focus and productivity by joining a focus session

    Supportive community

    Our body doubling sessions give you a virtual community to work alongside. You’ll discover many other professionals who share your challenges.

    But it's about more than just support. Science shows that by stating your intentions to other people, you increase your chance of success by up to 95%.

    Distraction free focus

    An attention anchor is a sensory cue or mental trigger that helps to refocus your attention and signals your brain that it's time to focus.

    For this reason, body doubling is often recommended to people with ADHD, but it can help anybody who needs to commit to periods of focus to stay on task, overcome distractions and get things done.

    Second column media

    Our online focus sessions give you body doubling whenever you need it.

    Run on Zoom and guided by one of our 20+ expert facilitators, they're designed to free you from distraction and fill you with motivation.

    Try it – you'll get more done than you ever thought possible.

    Despite the chaotic demands of modern work, the conditions that enable focus, creativity and fulfilment at work are actually known to science.

    FLOWN is designed to leverage neuroscience, social science and creative best practice to help you do your best work, while feeling your best self.


    Accountability

    Accountability is to do with the positive social pressure that’s experienced when our actions are answerable to peers.


    Flow states

    A McKinsey's study into peak performance shows that we're 5x more productive when we get into a flow state. Imagine being able to tap into this super-power every day!


    Social facilitation

    When in the presence of others — whether it be real or virtual, you're tapping into powerful psychological hacks that make you perform better and help you focus.


    Day-time-place

    Having an implementation intention means means having a clearly defined plan for when and how you will accomplish a goal, which increases the likelihood that you will follow through.


    Play and exploration

    As well as reducing stress hormones such as cortisol, playful exploration helps to trigger divergent thinking – an ideal brain state for problem-solving and creativity.


    Walking

    Research has shown that walking, especially outdoors, can significantly boost creativity, problem-solving ability, and cognitive performance.

    "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 boosts their achievement and also improves their sense of wellbeing at work.

    Co-founder, Heights

    "A new level of focus"

    I ABSOLUTELY love FLOWN! The deep work sessions have been such a wonderful, transformative experience and addition to my day. I have met lovely people, found a new level of focus and wonder how I ever managed without FLOWN. Thank you!

    Jo Gifford
    Writer & Consultant

    "Achieve more than I'd do on my own"

    I've got severe ADHD so my work is often interrupted and I frequently feel overwhelmed. FLOWN helps me work calmly, get through my admin, and achieve more than I'd do on my own.

    "Block out distractions"

    As a developer, I really value being able to block out distractions and work in a focused way, uninterrupted, for blocks of time. I find Quests great for switching off, too!

    Jonander Elosua
    Full-stack developer

    "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.

    Rachel Carrel 
    Founder, Koru Kids

    "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.
