GALIA S.

Founder
Flow Club gives me a safe space that is filled with non-judgmental people who
validate, understand, empathize, or even share my struggles. There's always
someone there to celebrate you for showing up and for doing what you CAN do that
day. I came for the productivity, but what I found was a community, too.

ALEX S.

Poet and Writer
Flow Club somehow brings the same support into my apartment as would a trusted
friend — while simultaneously giving me the freedom to interact as much or as
little as I am up to on a given day. Magic!

JULIE A.

University Professor
Friendly accountability and body doubling turned out to be the two key things I
needed to effectively manage my ADHD. Flow Club provides both of those.

BIANCA W.

Financial Analyst
As a chronic procrastinator who gets overwhelmed easily, I LOVE Flow Club. It’s
the only thing that will have me not only start on tasks, but finish them.

RANA K.

Designer
Before joining, I felt lost and alone in my struggles. But through Flow Club, I
have been able to connect with a community of people who understand my
experiences and provide valuable support and resources.

LESLY Q.

Writer, Learner, and Side Hustler
As someone with ADHD, I work best when I’m around noise and people. Flow Club
provides me with the feeling of social stimulation while I work.

ERIN R.

Freelance Writer
Sessions help me stay focused and productive by providing accountability, shared
energy, and support.

ANONYMOUS MEMBER

Flow Club gave me a self esteem boost that showed I wasn't a time-wasting space
cadet with my head in the clouds.

XIMENA V.

Graduate student
Just having someone "next" to me doing their own thing is enough for me to
focus. How body-doubling works is a mystery to me, but I've achieved more in the
few months I've been with Flow Club than I have in years.

JANEL K.

Business Development
I like that the interpersonal interactions are low-stakes and minimal - you
don't have to talk or be on camera if you don't want to be.

BETHANI L.


Customer Educator, Tech
‍My fellow Flow Clubbers keep me accountable to my goals, and they also
encourage me to take breaks and practice self-care. There are so many other
ADHDers in Flow Club, and I feel like I've really found my people. I've haven't
met anyone from Flow Club IRL, but we still laugh, cry, work, and celebrate
together. It's just a magical, supportive place.


SAMANTHA G.

Founder
Flow Club has been amazing for my ADHD. The body doubling concept really does
work.

HOW FLOW CLUB WORKS


BOOK A SESSION

Research shows that you are more likely to achieve your goals when you
pre-commit to it.




SHOW UP

Willpower is overrated. Instead, draft off the energy of other people who also
care deeply about their work.




SHARE YOUR GOALS

The simple act of sharing what you're going to do with someone else sets up
external accountability and increases the likelihood that you'll get it done.



START WORKING

When the timer begins, the host will play focus-inducing music while everyone
begins the muted, deep work segment. The music is optional, but doing your best
to knock out the task at hand is not.



DEBRIEF & CELEBRATE

Your session host will check in with you and bring the positive vibes. Not
everyone hits their goals, but everyone made progress. We celebrate that.

WAIT - WHY ON EARTH ARE WE CO-WORKING WITH STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET?

We know it's weird, but we designed Flow Club to fight distractions so we can
get productivity and flow.

ACCOUNTABILITY

Sometimes you need that extra boost to start (or finish) a project. By speaking
your goal in front of others, you are much more likely to do what you intend.

FLOW ON DEMAND

The formula for flow state is motivation, skill, and positive feedback. We've
created our sessions to deliver these elements so you can feel productive and
happy.

TURN IT OFF

The better you work, the better you rest. Our hope is that our sessions help you
focus and accomplish more, so you can rest and focus on the other things in your
life that matter.


"I CAME FOR THE PRODUCTIVITY.
WHAT I FOUND WAS A COMMUNITY."


OUR MEMBERS

On Flow Club, we are professional, supportive, and without judgement.





OUR STRUCTURE

Session agendas keep the session organized.
See everyone else's tasks.
With visibility of the timer and one another, people find that they can
magically get much of their work done.

WE'RE SURE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS



WHAT IS FLOW STATE?

Flow, as defined by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a Professor of Psychology at
Claremont Graduate University, is “a state in which people are so involved in an
activity that nothing else seems to matter.” This heightened state of focus and
productivity often distorts our perception of time, diminishes anxiety and ego,
and fosters a sense of effortless action. It's similar to what we frequently
describe as being "in the zone," characterized by a deep sense of immersion and
peak performance.

This concept of "flow" was first introduced to the broader scientific community
by Csikszentmihalyi in 1990 through his seminal work, "Flow: The Psychology of
Optimal Experience". In this publication, he articulated the essence of being in
flow and its significant benefits. Not only does it boost productivity, but it
also increases life satisfaction and promotes better mental wellbeing. The study
of flow began with Csikszentmihalyi's quest to identify the elements that lead
to a life worth living, which you can hear about in his TED Talk.



As modern knowledge workers, we rarely get to experience flow state. Even more
elusive is the sense of progression and mastery of your work. When was the last
time you felt accomplished? Do you feel like you are better than you were a
month ago? The pursuit of flow state reminds us to asks these questions about
the work we do everyday, and Flow Club is where we gather to do it.

HOW DO I GET IN THE FLOW?

While flow is a highly personal and subjective experience, researchers have
identified conditions that can facilitate this positive state of being:

• Challenge-Skill Balance: Choose activities that are just challenging enough
for your skill level. Progress to bigger challenges as your skills expand.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi provides two insightful graphs to help visualize where
you should aim to be.

• Clear, Attainable Goals: Have a clear understanding of what you need to
accomplish. If your tasks seem too vague, refine them until they become more
specific. If your tasks seem overwhelming, break them down into manageable
pieces.
• Unambiguous Feedback: You should know how well you’re doing as you’re doing
it. Even with extensive and protracted tasks, set smaller milestones to help you
gauge progress along the way.
• Time-based Goals: When breaking down tasks or clarifying them proves
difficult, use time-based goals rather than outcome-based goals. For example, if
you're facing a major task, such as writing a lengthy report without a clear
plan, set a goal like "write for 30 minutes." Make focusing for a specific
period of time the goal itself.
• Follow Your Energy Level: Pay attention to how your energy fluctuates
throughout the day. Take advantage of the peak energy times to enhance your
chances of achieving flow.
• Designate Time: Schedule time to be in flow to block it out for yourself.
Commit and let your brain prepare to fully immerse itself when the time arrives.
• Eliminate Distraction: Before you start, eliminate any potential distractions.
Place your phone out of reach and out of sight, close your room door, set your
chat program to "Do Not Disturb,” etc.
• Bring Intention: Bring a heightened level of intention and determination. This
could be as simple as taking a deep breath, focusing your gaze, or performing a
brief ritual that helps you transition into a more concentrated state.
• Bring Personal Triggers: Recognize and leverage personal triggers that help
you enter the zone. These could be a cup of coffee, a specific playlist, or a
notebook open to a particular page.
• Be In a Flow-Inducing Environment (eg Flow Club): Flow Club is a virtual
environment designed to facilitate flow state that you can access any time, from
anywhere. Some key features of an optimal flow-inducing environment include:
- Encouraging risk-taking through peer accountability
- Activating reward pathways to stimulate dopamine release
- Offering soundtracks conducive to work
- Inspiring awe and motivation
- Providing a comfortable and supportive atmosphere

WHAT IS THE FLOW SCORE?

After every Flow Club session, you have an opportunity to give yourself a Flow
Score rating from 1-10, with 10 being “totally immersed in flow.” The purpose is
to help you reflect and ultimately better understand how you can experience flow
more regularly.

Flow is a subjective experience that feels like effortless effort. To help you
reflect more accurately, here are some questions you can ask yourself when
rating your experience:
‍
• Challenge-Skill Balance: My skills allowed me to meet the challenge
• Clear Goals: I knew what I wanted to do
• Unambiguous Feedback: I knew how well I was doing
• Autotelic Experience: I loved the feeling of what I was doing, and want to
feel it again
• Time Distortion: Time appeared to speed up or slow down
• Total Concentration: I had no difficulty focusing
• Sense of Control: I felt in control
• Loss of Self-Consciousness: I was not worried about others or critical of
myself
• Action-Awareness Merging: I moved seamlessly from thinking to acting

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF FLOW CLUB?

Flow Club creates the conditions to help facilitate flow state. It's ultimately
about improving mental fitness, feeling fulfilled at work and finding more time
for life. The specific benefits you will experience include but are not limited
to:

• Sharpened focus
• Minimized distractions
• Manage symptoms of ADHD
• Heightened intentionality and awareness of your work
• Motivation on demand
• More time for deep work, side pursuits, and life
• Increased confidence through a sense of agency
• Clearer delineation between work and rest
• More restorative rest
• Inspired company of peers and hosts
• Lower stress and anxiety
• More creativity

We hate BS too, and some of these things inevitably sound like BS. Best we can
do now is to show you some testimonials, but you should stay skeptical and try
it out for yourself.

‍See our Wall of Love.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR METHOD WORKS?

Flow Club’s method is based on the popular Pomodoro Technique, which millions of
workers around the world practice on a daily basis. The Pomodoro Technique helps
people overcome discomfort by working in small time increments of 25-minutes,
followed by a 5-minute of break. In Flow Club, the most popular length of
session is 50 minutes.
‍
Research shows that we put off work not because we are lazy or lack discipline.
We do it to avoid negative feelings like overwhelm and uncertainty. We reach for
distractions to soothe our negative feelings or busy work to help us feel
productive. Instead, the Pomodoro Technique helps you focus by shrinking your
goal down to the next few things you can do in the time allotted, making it
easier for anyone to make real progress.

Beyond the Pomodoro Technique, Flow Club is intentionally designed to facilitate
flow state and overcome symptoms of ADHD. To learn more, read our post on
ADHD and Body Doubling.

WHO ARE THE HOSTS?

Our hosts are volunteers from the community. Hosts help lead each session, check
in with you on your progress, and bring their music and positivity to help
propel you forward. You can be a host too after 10 sessions.

DO I HAVE TO KEEP VIDEO ON?

As much as you can. Of course, if you need to turn off the camera, that’s okay.
As a community, we keep our videos on to create an energetic virtual environment
for each other while we work, like working at a cafe! This concept is actually
called body doubling and is a useful technique for everyone to remain focused,
present and reduce distractions.

The video boxes are small, and no one is looking at you because everyone is
focusing. In case things go wrong, we enforce our community guidelines to keep
out bad behavior.

HOW MUCH TALKING IS REQUIRED?

Not much at all because we gather to focus on getting stuff done. We share our
goals and progress with each other to keep each other accountable, that’s all.

If you prefer to not talk at all, there are non-verbal, chat-only options you
can join.

HOW STRICT ARE YOUR SESSIONS’ RULES?

Flow Club’s aim is to support diverse working styles. We believe that you know
what works best for you. To this end, you can use the session structure as it
suits you.

Most people tend to stay for the whole duration and keep their video on, because
it is helpful to them to do so. If you need to join late, hop out early, or turn
off video, that is completely fine with us. This is a tool that’s here to serve
you, not the other way around.

Our sessions provide the flexibility for you to:
• Join at any time as long as you have booked the session in advance.
• For new trial members, we offer even more flexibility so that you can drop in
and try out a session without booking in advance.
• Turn your video and audio on and off.
• Leave a chat message to your fellow attendees if you are joining late or
jumping out early.
‍

I'M ALREADY PRODUCTIVE WORKING SOLO. HOW WILL FLOW CLUB CHALLENGE ME?

In Flow Club you are still working solo. What Flow Club adds is a layer of
structure and external accountability to help you push yourself a little harder.
It’s the difference between working out at home by yourself and going to a
workout class. You’ll find lots of high performers like yourself in Flow Club,
and you’ll be surprised by how much more you get done.


HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT STRANGERS KEEP ME ACCOUNTABLE?

To be clear, it’s still you who is keeping yourself accountable! There’s just no
way around that. 🙂

But, it’s also clear that we are social animals. Many people work better when
they are in the presence of others. The host in the room asks each participant
to share their goals out loud. The act of sharing and being visible to others
creates enough energy for our members to get started and to follow through.

Science of Body Doubling


HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR FLOW CLUB SESSIONS?

Take a moment to think about what you need to do, and then figure out the
smallest first step you can take. Then simply join a Flow Club on time to get it
done.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM VIDEO CHAT WITH FRIENDS?

Flow Club is a live, structured experience with specific choreography that is
easy to participate and host in. As a member, you’ll find that it’s much, much
easier than organizing your own group.

We've thought through details to help people focus and remove overwhelm:

Flow Club's Schedule
Flow Club’s predictable schedule helps you create consistent daily routines. You
can book ahead to help you block out time.

Accountability
Through the norm of sharing your to-do with your group and displaying your
progress publicly, you use the group to hold yourself accountable.

Calendar Reminders
We send you a calendar invite so that you can make an appointment with yourself
and others to remind you to show up. Your teammates will also respect your time
because it appears as a meeting.
‍
To-do List
The To-do list doesn’t carry over, which helps you start fresh each time.
‍
Small Videos
Videos help people feel present. We display them in limited width and height so
that they aren't overly distracting. Controls such as on/off toggles and
background blur support your changing needs.

Optional Focus Music
Flow Club hosts play focus-friendly music in sessions to help cue your brain
that this time and space is for work.



HOW MUCH IS FLOW CLUB?

$40 / month or $33.33 / month (paid annually) to access over one thousand live
sessions every week.

WHY DOES FLOW CLUB CHARGE FOR A SUBSCRIPTION?

Flow Club’s subscription model makes it so that you can keep up the habit
consistently without attendance limits.

Do you buy coffee to be around others while you work? Do you pay for services to
help you increase your productivity and focus, or address issues with
distractibility? Then, Flow Club instead! $40 might be similar to the cost of a
fitness class or two, and at this price you get access to unlimited sessions
every month. Flow Club is mental fitness for work!

Your subscription will help pay for the constant learning and improving that our
team does to provide this platform.



CAN I GET MY COMPANY TO PAY FOR FLOW CLUB?

Yes, Flow Club usually fits under a co-working or wellness stipend. Here’s a
resource page on how to ask.
