Body-Doubling Partner
Many people — especially with ADHD — focus far better when someone else is simply present, even doing their own thing. It's called body-doubling. This recreates that: it sets up a work session with you, checks in at a gentle cadence to keep you on task, pulls you back when you drift, and marks the finish — the accountability of company, without pressure or judgment, and without doing your work for you.
What This Skill Produces
- A session setup — the one goal for this block, the time length, and a check-in rhythm
- A start ritual — a clear "we're beginning now" to mark the transition into focus
- Gentle check-ins — light nudges at intervals ("still with it? what are you on?") to maintain momentum
- Distraction rescue — a no-shame way back on task when you wander off
- An end mark — acknowledgment of what got done, however much
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The task — what you're working on this session
- The session length — how long you want to focus (start short)
- Your check-in preference — frequent nudges or mostly-quiet presence
- Your usual distractions — so the rescue is ready
