I've been very pleasantly surprised to see that the room has had people in it 24/7 since I first checked on it afternoon yesterday (current time for me is 5pm)! Usually about 5-6, I think the lowest I've seen is 3, although someone reported that in the quiet hours it got down to 2.

We'll see if we're able to keep it up, promising so far!

I like this idea, thought about checking it out, realized I don't really know how to expect and that it might not be optimal for my personality type...then slapped myself for obvious dithering.

I'll commit to dropping in tomorrow when I get home from work (~5:30EST) for at least an hour, to see if this suits me. After that, we'll see.

Results report: I did get some done. More than I can usually do on demand, though it's hard to say whether the benefit came from the technique or just from the novelty. Either way, I'll continue doing it until it stops working, at least four times a week, in the ~6:00-7:00EST time slot.
