'Body doubling' is a strategy people with ADHD can use to accomplish more than they would alone. CTVNews.ca takes a look at how it works.
Having someone work alongside you could give you the motivation and focus you need to get things done.
What Nordmeyer does to get through those tougher tasks is sometimes known as "body doubling," a productivity and self-help strategy that involves working with another person around to help improve motivation and focus. It has been popular for some time among people with ADHD — attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder — especially during the pandemic.
"It also draws on our social selves," Ramsay said. "A lot of people with ADHD will say, 'I have a hard time getting started on this if I'm doing it for myself, but if I know somebody else is relying on me, if somebody else is waiting outside for me to show up to go for our walk, I'm more likely to go and be there because I don't want to let them down.'"
"It's important to keep a body double session focused on its purpose," Nordmeyer said. If conversations do come up, table them for later, perhaps during a break or dinner.
