"One thing that I usually do when focusing is difficult despite these check-ins (which happens occasionally to me when doing something really hard or unpleasant), is I can tell my partner about the difficulty focusing, set the timer for 5 minutes, and write whether I was focused in gather.town chat every 5 minutes until the next check in. I find that these 5-minute text check-ins are sufficient for full focus on pretty much any task, however unpleasant."

This reads like satire to me. How can people work like that? Wouldn't it be easier to focus without the interrruptions?

Did you do that at the office too, stand up every 5 minutes and tell everyone you are focusing?
