🚀 Getting started

Body doubling

Work while someone else is there, even silently.

Tiny version

Message a friend: “Can you sit on a call with me for 25 minutes while we both work?”

Good for

  • Dull tasks you avoid alone
  • Admin, cleaning, studying
  • Working from home

Why it helps

Another person’s presence adds gentle outside structure and accountability, which helps when your own “start now” signal is weak.

The full version

  1. Find a person: a friend, a housemate, or an online coworking room.

  2. Each say out loud what you’ll work on.

  3. Work side by side for 25 minutes, cameras on if online.

  4. Check in at the end: what did you get done?
