Caveday ?… Anyone tried it ?

Hello everyone, I’ve seen Caveday mentionned in a post on Reddit about ADHD et productivity. It looks like body doubling but, you know, you have to pay for it 😅 I’d rather not pay for such a thing, but still, I remain very interested because I’m a teacher, and the summer break here in France is very long, and I always have a very hard time being productive during 3 weeks in August… (HUGE understatement !!) So, if you tried Caveday and can tell me more about it (mainly : is it worth it ?), or something equivalent, please tell me ! 🙏🏻🤗 Bye !

Have you tried Dubbii? I can’t remember if it’s 100% free (I paid like $45 CDN for a lifetime subscription so I’m not sure what is free/paid) but it has about 5 live Zoom calls a day to do body doubling!

Yes, something like that : some people who get on line and connect to Zoom (or whatever) for a work session together. I’m looking for accountability and planning. Something that would prevent my days from going like this : « oh, I have all day for this, it’s okay if I start later, I should totally go buy tomatoes first… » and then there’s a bookshop just around the corner after I leave the store with 10 things other than tomatoes. So I spend 40 mn in the bookstore, and I feel like after all these exertions (the grocery bag was heavy, and shuffling along the shelves made my legs hurt), I’m totally allowed to postpone (again) getting to work, and spend 10 mn reading one of the 15 books I just bought. So 1h30 later, I realize things got a little out of hand (real understatement), so I decide to go eat : when my belly’s full, everything will probably sort itself out… But really, after my meal, I just feel really sleepy : so I tell myself « If a little nap isn’t allowed during summer break, I don’t know when it is ! » And I wake up totally dazed 2h30 later… And, oh, by the way, I still don’t have tomatoes : so I take my car again, and on I go… and that’s how 7pm is around the corner with no work completed whatsoever… 😱😱😰😳🫠
