body double Central Time Zone

[ronosof]

Hi! I’m looking for someone to body double with for “difficult to start tasks.”

A body double is a person who is present IRL or through technology that is simply present while you are doing the hard thing.

Thanks!

There are many websites that offer this. Focus Mate is one and I think it’s 3 free (30 min. sessions per week) unlimited is $6.99-$9.99 a month.

i use the inflow app. They likely prefer paid up membership to keep the rooms safe, since we are showing ourselves working on camera to get the "mirror neuron" effect.

For this reason, coffee shops and libraries have also worked for me (free). And you could set your own timer (pomodoro / 25 min) (silent if in public 😋).

There are also videos on YouTube that are labeled body doubling when it comes to cleaning/chores/decluttering and sometimes are on fast speed so it kicks our brains into gear!

I’m interested, but I’m in Pacific time zone so it depends how early you want to start… I’ll try to direct message you.

Hi Ronosof I just logging into this. community from a long hiatus.

I am finding that online body double groups and most onine socializing has lost it impact for me since covid where I burned out on virtual meetings.

I live in Chicago. I am interested in - in person body double help. Someone to come to my home once a month or every 3 weeks. I would return the favor.

I have been working with an ADHD home organizer and would like to setup the guardrails to maintain my progress with a scheduled/routine in person body double session.

Were you able to find the body double support you needed?

Best - Rhonda
