Applaud's Cave Time | Online Coworking Space

Note: You only have to RSVP once, and you can attend any session!

Working remotely can be isolating, and sometimes you need a bit of accountability and support in getting in a solid, undisturbed block of focused productivity.

This is where Applaud is here to support you!

Join us for Applaud’s Cave Time and ACT on your most time-intensive to-do's. In the Applaud cave, we’ll “block out and focus in” on the most productive 90 minutes in your day. With a virtual cave-diving guide, we’ll keep an eye on the clock for you, so you can work without distraction or worry.

These sessions will recur twice monthly.

How will this work?

  • Register for your Cave session
  • Block off your registered time in your calendar to protect this time from otherwise scheduled meetings.
  • Sign in for your scheduled Zoom session
  • Camera ON, phones OFF. Replace daily distractions with real-time accountability!
  • Come with a list of 1-3 tasks you intend to tackle within this hour. What is that thing you’ve been putting off? Need to work on a document, tackle that email inbox, or do some brainstorming? This is YOUR TIME.
  • We’ll take a moment to say hello and get into the present moment with a few breaths.
  • In the chat, share your intentions for the session with fellow participants. This is another form of accountability.
  • The facilitator will start a timer for 40 minutes, during which time everyone will work, microphones muted, all phones and notifications off and out of sight.
  • At the 40 minutes mark, the facilitator will quietly prompt a stretch-and-hydration break, reminding everyone to take a moment to drink some water, take a washroom break, stretch, etc.
  • The facilitator will set the timer for the 2nd 40-minute block

At the end of this 80 minutes, everyone can share a celebratory stretch, check-in in the chat, and sign-off for the rest of your day’s tasks!
