About us

PLEASE NOTE:
This group is currently in the interest-gauging phase. I am building a foundation of members before scheduling our first gatherings. If this appeals to you, hit "Join" so I know there is demand in Portland!

WHAT WE'RE ABOUT:
Need a supportive environment to get things done?

PDX Focus Club brings Portlanders together to build community, normalize our everyday struggles with productivity, and find collective momentum in a shared space. Show up and make progress on whatever matters to you. Bring your laptop, notebook, sketchbook, or headphones and work on:

  • Studying & Professional Tasks: Coding, remote work, client emails, or studying
  • Creative Pursuits: Writing, sketching
  • Life Admin: Budgeting, making doctors appointments, or managing weekly schedules

Once we launch, we will gather at laptop-friendly coffee shops and cozy bars around town to support goal setting, task initiation, and sustained focus.

HOW WE WORK - CUSTOMIZABLE SUPPORT:
Everyone has a different rhythm for getting things done, so these gatherings are entirely driven by what you need when you walk through the door.

If you want extra structure, I am available to provide a level of facilitation using tools to help you get started and maintain momentum. Alternatively, you can use the space for pure quiet productivity—put your headphones in, skip the small talk, and simply use the collective energy of the group to stay on track.

CODE OF CONDUCT:

  • Respect the Headphones: If someone's headphones are in, do not initiate conversation.
  • No Obligations & Privacy: You never have to share your work or stick around for post-work chats. What anyone talks about or works on at the table stays confidential.
  • Support the Venue: We want to be great guests. Please purchase drinks or snacks to support the local coffee shops and bars hosting us.
  • Supportive & Safe: We are here to alleviate the stress of getting started, not add pressure.
