What is body doubling and why does it work so well for ADHD brains?

In this episode, I'm breaking down one of my favorite (and most underrated) executive function strategies: body doubling. Whether you've been doing it your whole life without a name for it, or you've never heard of it before, this episode will help you understand why it works and give you a whole menu of ways to try it.

What you'll learn in this episode:

What body doubling actually is (and why it's not just "going to a coffee shop to work")
The science-backed reasons it helps with task initiation and focus especially for ADHD and neurodivergent brains
Creative ways to body double and how to find the type of body doubling that fits your brain, your life, and your social battery
How body doubling connects to Parkinson's Law and why it helps you stop dragging tasks out
