My mom came over today while I cleaned my house. It’s a thing. I’ve done it my whole life.

Yes, but the person needs to have the right energy. Some people motivate me. Others prevent any accomplishment.

I would love a body double! My daughter refuses to do dishes without someone in the kitchen with her to talk to her.

My sister and I FaceTime and clean together. It really helps. My husband around doesn’t help.

I use podcasts/audio books as my body doubling with household tasks. I’m still struggling with focusing on work related tasks.

Hex :
😳 Myself, mother, and grandmother always did this when possible. “I’m here to boss,” and they’d preceded to just sit and talk with who is cleaning 😂 so now when we need support the other person jusy says “I’ll come boss.” 🤷🏻♀️it really works 👀

I use @work.buddies for all my body-doubling needs! They have a large Discord community too where someone is basically always awake!

I will achieve nothing with my day if left to my own devices. Body doubling is a must, my wife should also be getting a degree whenever I finish colle

50-50, sometimes it helps, sometimes it’s major distraction

I do this all the time for my husband when I can tell he’s having trouble staying on task. Just chilling in the same room helps him focus. 🥰

Cyanide (they/them) :
The only other ADHD person in my life… when she calls me we both would end up cleaning. Didn’t know why until I found out about body doubling 😂

K.j. :
I'm the exact opposite. I need to be left alone for hours to be motivated to get stuff done. which is tough cause I never get the house to myself

Missa Momma :
Works for my partner, not for me. I blast music (usually in earbuds) and sing along (doesn't work when others are home).🥰

When I was widowed 8 years ago, it was often hard to get things done because he wasn’t in the house to body double…

It's a great trick that I accidentally discovered. I didn't know it had a name. 😳

jlibrarian :
Never tried this but I do tend to listen to an audiobook or put something on the TV in the background to "keep me company" is that similar?"

I need to be alone when I clean idk why but when someone is with me I lose all motivation cause then I wanna hang out rather than clean

NickNack :
I only get stuff done with someone there or under a time limit to someone going to be there.

Barbara Bull-Johnson :
Does not work for me. I always feel that I need to be making sure that person is entertained, just a people pleaser part of me

thatonegirlzoey :
I try to but it’s hard because my friends don’t always understand why I need them to just be with me while I complete a task

I’ve been doing it through text recently. We used to do it through discord but now it’s hard to have the time together.

I don’t have a lot of close friends but I’ve found a movie playing helps me get stuff done.

Depends on the task! physical things like cleaning, yes, anything that requires more focus I tend to get distracted by the other person

I can’t do any housework in front of another person. I’m finally able to do dishes in front of my live in boyfriend, but trauma stops everything else

Patatounette magique ✨✨ :
It totally works for most things ! However, for studying it doesn’t really help, or at least not most of the time… does anybody actually have tips?

I watch (listen to?) 3-4 hour long gaming streams. I am not even a gamer, but it helps. 🤷♀️
