Getting started is often the hardest part. Body doubling creates a sense of accountability making tasks feel easier. Whether live or on your own working alongside others can help you stay on track and build momentum.
Starting can be the hardest part. The list is there, the intentions are good, but actually getting into motion? That’s another story. If you’ve ever stared at a task, willing yourself to begin, only to find yourself scrolling hours later, you’re not alone.
For those of us with ADHD, autism, or executive function challenges, task initiation isn’t just a matter of motivation. It’s a neurological reality. The good news? Body doubling exists. And it works.
At its core, body doubling is about presence. Working alongside someone else, virtually or in person, creates a kind of ambient accountability. It’s not about oversight or pressure but about shared focus. The presence of another person can help cut through distractions, make daunting tasks feel more manageable, and reduce that all-too-familiar sense of inertia.
For neurodivergent folks, this can mean the difference between an untouched to-do list and real progress. It’s why study groups, co-working spaces, and even sitting in a café with strangers can make tasks feel easier. Social facilitation is real. And when leveraged intentionally, it can be a game-changer.
Traditional body doubling relies on real-time interaction, but let’s be honest - schedules don’t always align, and sometimes social energy is in short supply. That’s where Tiimo’s on-demand focus sessions come in. Designed to replicate the benefits of body doubling, these sessions provide structure, pacing, and a sense of companionship without requiring live interaction.
Each video is crafted with neurodivergent-friendly elements, including:
Body doubling isn’t about productivity for productivity’s sake. It’s about working with, not against, our brains. It’s about dismantling the shame that so often accompanies focus struggles and replacing it with tools that actually fit how we function.
For many of us, the hardest part isn’t doing the work, it’s bridging the gap between thinking about doing the work and actually starting. Body doubling, in any form, helps close that gap. And when live co-working isn’t an option, having structured, on-demand focus spaces can be the next best thing.
Focus doesn’t have to be something you fight for. With the right structures in place, it can be something you step into with more ease.
