## Body Doubling at Home

Body doubling is the practice of working in the presence of another person to improve focus and task initiation. It works over video call, in person, or with virtual coworking sessions. A dedicated setup makes the habit stick.

Set Up Your Space

Description: Choose a consistent desk area with good lighting. Position your camera at eye level. Keep distractions minimal: phone face down, notifications off.

Find Virtual Partners

Description: Join platforms like Focusmate, Flow Club, or ADHD Discord servers. Schedule recurring sessions with the same partners for accountability.

Build a Session Routine

Description: Open with a 2 minute goal share, work silently, then close with a 2 minute check-in. Consistency in the ritual trains your brain to shift into focus.

Virtual body doubling works even when the other person is doing completely different work. The presence itself is the signal. Silence is fine.
