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
