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
Find a person: a friend, a housemate, or an online coworking room.
Each say out loud what you’ll work on.
Work side by side for 25 minutes, cameras on if online.
Check in at the end: what did you get done?
