I joined Groove because I was looking for a coworking app that would keep me motivated and on top of my tasks.
I had tried one other similar service that I really liked and personally, I loved that I didnāt have to get on video and interact with people (LOL?). After my trial for that one was over, I decided to try Groove because a friend is on the platform.
At first, I was a little afraid of the whole video chat thing. Every Groove is 5 minutes or so on video, 50 minutes off video working on your tasks, and 5 minutes back on video to share how it went. I wasnāt sure how Iād feel having to get on video with strangers and actually speak. Well, the first few times were a tad hard for me but it got me out of my comfort zone!
I continued Grooving for a whole week, always thinking, āwhich platform will I go with?ā because my intention was to choose Groove or the other platform as my permanent ācoworking homeā.
Iāve made the decision to stick with Groove and hereās why:
1. After getting on video a few times, itās not so scary anymore! I feel like it keeps me more accountable and motivated when I actually have to speak and share.
2. I really wanted an app for coworking, with a to-do list built in that I could easily add to if I thought of something I needed to do at a random moment in my day. Well, Groove gives me just that! The other platform I tried was not mobile-friendly (and neither were a few other coworking sites out there) and adding to my to-do list is so easy.
3. THE COMMUNITY. This is the biggest thing for me. While I tried out Groove, I still kept thinking about the things I had liked about the other platform and I thought my decision would be hard (to choose between the two). But the more I Grooved, the easier it became to choose Groove.
Every time I did a Groove session, you could tell these people know and care about each other. They ask about upcoming trips, pets, how the task they were working on the other day is going.
As you Groove day after day, you start to see many familiar faces. That sealed it for me.

I love waiting to see who's going to show up for the next groove. Working alone from home, those 50 minute bursts with other Groovers give me real, accountable structure so I can focus on specific tasks and not be overwhelmed by the big picture. I've met some amazing people doing the strangest things!
