Comments optional when signing! → We have ADHD. Our minds don't always stay on task. To make pomodoros actually effective, there needs to be a trigger that forces us to stop and redirect. That can only happen when everyone in that room is there with the same intention. Please create a third option for VERBAL CHECK-INS so that we can find each other easier and have productive sessions instead of frustration. The expectation will be to do VERBAL CHECK-INs at every 5-minute break during a longer pomodoro session (60 min - 180 min). Having this type of session ensures that everyone there is cool with it (even if they can’t participate at every break). Thank you!

I just logged on and wow the momentum here is honestly overwhelming. It is wild to think so many of you are dealing with this exact same brain fog struggle because for the longest time I felt like I was totally alone in wanting those check ins for structure and honestly it makes me feel like we might actually get someone to listen to us about these session needs.

Although I tend to enjoy Chat Only sessions for my writing, I also enjoy the hybrid model that some hosts have created where they do verbal checks on the end caps of the session and chat checks during the pom breaks. However, this verbal-only option would be great for me to get chores done. It would be so great if Flow Club could add these two options (Hybrid & Verbal Only) for hosts to specify for their attendees.
I so need this. Verbal checkins pull me back on track when I’ve wandered off, but they only work if there’s someone else to talk to!!
This extra layer of accountability would be a stellar option to offer those of us with mosquito brains
I strongly agree with this. I strongly prefer verbal check-ins, but feel like I am interrupting people. I prefer this type of support over any other type of room setup.
Yes, please!
I think this is a good idea. I don't like verbal check-ins. I like to use Poms for breaks. Talking is distracting to me. Making a designation would help me avoid these sessions.
Thanks for setting up this up! Looking forward to Flow Club hopefully adding this feature!

I personally get too distracted by verbal check-ins, and have to hide from the camera if I forgot to tell the host, lol. So with the indicator, then I'll know to either choose one without verbal check-ins, or go in and tell the host to please skip me. So that we don't annoy each other inadvertently because we want different things, haha.
