What is body doubling?

Body doubling is a technique used to improve focus, motivation, and productivity, particularly for individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). 

• How it works

  • A person (the "body double") works alongside the individual who needs support (the "client"). 

  • The body double can perform a similar task, such as studying or working on a project, or simply be present in the same room. 

  • The client focuses on their own task, while the body double provides a sense of accountability and companionship. 

• Benefits

  • Increased focus:

    The presence of the body double can help the client stay on task and reduce distractions. 

  • Improved motivation:

    Having someone else working alongside them can make the task seem less daunting and more motivating. 

  • Enhanced productivity:

    Body doubling can help the client complete tasks more efficiently and effectively. 

  • Accountability:

    The body double can hold the client accountable for their work, which can encourage them to stay focused and complete their tasks. 

• Who Can Benefit?

  • Individuals with ADHD

  • People who struggle with procrastination

  • Anyone who finds it difficult to focus on tasks

  • Individuals who need extra support to stay motivated
