Body Doubling: A Productivity Hack for Focus and Task Completion

Body doubling is a productivity technique gaining popularity, especially among those with ADHD. It involves working alongside another person, either physically or virtually, to improve focus and task completion. The presence of the 'body double' acts as an external motivator, reducing distractions and fostering a sense of accountability. While long-term studies are limited, anecdotal evidence and expert opinions suggest its effectiveness as a complementary approach to medication and helpful for individuals with other conditions like autism or anxiety.
