I hate these solutions that drive people towards having more and more meetings and working in committees.

If this is how you want to work with some people who prefer this mode of working, good for you. Go ahead and do that with that group of people, but just please leave me alone.

I want to work alone in a solitary and quiet setting with focus.

[Edit] I read a bit more, and it's even worse than I thought. You want me to be online all the time, and break my concentration every 30 minutes to talk to other people? How do people work this way? Perhaps I have a strong introvert bias when it comes to work, but even then, how do you build something creative with quality working like this?

The purpose seemed aimed at people that procrastinate a lot and have small-ish tasks. If you have to account for your efforts, then you might work more efficiently ?

So like the Pomodoro technique, except the break interval is forced social interaction? There truly are a zillion business models.
