Unlock Deep Work

Your accountability partner

You set the goal. I make sure you keep moving.

Daily check-ins, a weekly plan, and a call the moment you're stuck, so the work gets done instead of put off. A real person on every message, not an app.

What it looks like

A short message. A real reply. Every weekday.

In the morning I ask what one thing would make today a win. In the evening I ask how it went. When you're stuck, I call. That's it. No app to install. We talk on WhatsApp, Telegram or email, whichever you already use.

Morning. What's the one thing that would make today a win?

The payment tests. I've been avoiding them for 3 days.

Open the file and write the name of the first test. Nothing else. Reply "done" when it's there.

done. ok that was easier than I thought

That's the trick. I'll check back at lunch.

📞 Stuck? Message me and I call you back.

How it works

Four steps. The first one takes two minutes.

  1. Tell me what you're working on

    Three quick questions. A business, client work, a side project, a job you do from home. Anything you do on your own.

  2. I check in every weekday

    A short message in the morning and one in the evening. You reply in a line. I remember what you said yesterday.

  3. We plan the week together

    A 30-minute video call every Monday. What matters this week, what the smallest first piece is, and when it happens. You leave with a short list. On Friday, a two-line review: what got done, what moves to next week. No scorecards, no guilt.

  4. Stuck? I call you

    Message me the word "stuck". In my hours I call you back within the hour. We find the smallest next step, and you start it while I'm still on the line.

Sound familiar?

Things people type into Google late at night.

Real searches and forum posts, word for word.

  • "can't get myself to work"
  • "why can't I get motivated"
  • "nobody is checking on me"
  • "how to make yourself work when you don't want to"
  • "I can't stay consistent"
  • "I know what to do, I just don't do it"
  • "working alone all day"
  • "someone to keep me accountable"
  • "it fizzles after three weeks"
  • "no one would know if I skipped"

None of this is a character flaw. It's what happens when nobody is expecting you. The old, simple answer is a person who is. That's what I do.

Why a person

Apps remind you. A person expects you.

A reminder is easy to swipe away. A person who knows your week, remembers what you said yesterday, and asks how it went is not.

  • The same person every time, who knows your work
  • Real calls when you need them, not just text
  • Someone who notices when you go quiet
  • Private. Your work and messages stay between us
  • No bots. I use AI to keep my notes tidy, never to talk to you

Is this for you?

For people who work on their own.

This is for you if

  • You freelance, run a business, build a product, or work from home with no team around
  • You know what to do but it's hard to start or keep going
  • You work better when someone is expecting you
  • You want steady progress, not a burst that fades

This is not for you if

  • You want someone to do the work for you
  • You'd rather not hear from anyone during the week
  • You're looking for therapy or help with your mental health. Please see a licensed professional (why)

Focus timer with a twist

A timer that asks what you'll do, and then whether you did it. It keeps today's log on your device.

A note from Shiva

It's me on every message and every call.

I've worked from home for six years with teams spread across time zones. I know what happens when nobody is around: some days you drift, some days you freeze, some days you just go quiet.

I tried a lot of things for it. Apps, routines, weekly calls, more. What held was simple: someone who expected me to show up and asked how it went. I do that for other people now.

I take just 10 clients at a time and do every check-in and every call myself. Your price stays the same for as long as you keep the plan. Slots are open right now; I close them when the 10 are full.

Questions first? Email [email protected]. I reply the same day.

Questions

Things people ask

Is this a real person or an app?

A real person. Every message and every call is with me, Shiva. There is no bot and no team behind the chat.

What happens in the free week?

You tell me what you're working on. From the next weekday I check in every morning and evening. You pay nothing for 7 days, and you can stop at any time.

What if I miss a check-in?

I'll notice and I'll ask, kindly. No guilt. Missing a day is normal. The point is coming back the next day.

When can we talk?

Calls happen every day from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm US Eastern (4:30 am to 12:30 pm Pacific, 12:30 to 8:30 pm UK, 6 pm to 2 am India), in English or Hindi. Messages work in any time zone: in those hours I reply within the hour, otherwise the next morning.

Can I change plans or cancel?

Yes, any time. Cancel in PayPal or send me one message. Every plan also has a 2-week money-back guarantee on your first payment, once. After that, cancelling stops the next charge but the month already paid is not refunded.

Is what I share private?

Yes. Your work, your goals and your messages stay between you and me. I don't record calls and I never share or sell your information. Privacy policy.

Is this therapy?

No. I help you plan, start and keep going with your work. I don't diagnose or treat anything, and this is not a substitute for therapy or medical care. If you're struggling with your mental health, please see a licensed professional. Read the safety note.

How long have you been doing this?

Unlock Deep Work is new. Behind it: six years of remote engineering work across time zones, which is where I learned what nobody checking on you does to a week, and years of trying the methods myself, apps, weekly calls and more. Slots are open right now. I close them when my 10 are full, so grab yours before it goes.

Stop doing it alone.

Start your free week. If it's not for you, stop any time.
