Built on real science
Body doubling isn't a willpower hack β it works with your ADHD brain. Another person's presence provides external accountability and gentle activation that makes starting feel possible. The techniques here are drawn from how ADHD coaches and co-working communities actually use it.

Keep it where you work β desk, wall, or as a phone shortcut. When you can't start, open the sheet, set up a body double using one of the methods, and follow the session steps. You don't have to feel motivated β just begin.
