Body doubling for increased productivity
Body doubling is a technique that involves working with another person, either in person or virtually, to provide accountability and reduce distractions. It can be highly effective in keeping us on track and motivated to complete tasks.
Tools to enhance body doubling
In addition to body doubling, other tools such as the Pomodoro Technique, alarms, reminders, and breaking tasks into smaller pieces can further enhance productivity. These tools can help us manage our time effectively and reduce the likelihood of burnout.

Now, funny story, I’m actually working on this while body-doubling through Focus101 right now.
Now in this episode, we’ll be getting into exactly what body-doubling is and how it can be incredibly helpful for completing those tasks that are hard for us to follow through on on our own. We also talk about a number of other tools that can be used in conjunction with body doubling, such as the Pomodoro technique, alarms, using our calendars, and ways to break our tasks into smaller pieces.

Body doubling is a technique where we work in the presence of another person, even virtually, to help provide accountability. I can be effective at keeping us on track, reduce distractions and helps provide the motivation to stay on task.
We can make body doubling even more effective when we use tools like Pomodoros, alarms, reminders, and breaking our tasks down into smaller pieces. I also personally find the aspect of scheduling a particular time to do a task to be an especially important aspect of body-doubling.
As we discussed in the episode, Focus 101 is a free online tool for ADHD productivity combining features like body doubling, Pomodoro, and accountability groups.
