Before the pandemic, co-working spaces were on the rise and post-pandemic, people are embracing digital co-working spaces to help them get more done from anywhere in the world. FLOWN is a platform that offers Flocks, or digital co-working spaces to free people from distraction and help them enjoy more productive bouts of work.
Deep work sessions are conducted on Zoom and they help to cultivate focus through accountability, as well as a sense of community. People join these virtual sessions to work silently alongside others for a variety of purposes, sometimes a big project or a looming deadline. This digital "body doubling" helps to encourage task progress and completion simply by having another person present. According to FLOWN, its virtual co-working space is especially beneficial for the ADHD and neurodivergent community.
