Episode 4: What is Body Doubling?

Body doubling is a term that sounds like it could be something from Invasion of the Body Snachers.  Lucky for you it's not. Body doubling is a helpful and effective productivity tool. In this episode of Two Idiots, One Task, we explore the what, why, and how  of our favorite strategy for making adulthood feel slightly less impossible; body doubling. 

Learn how the term was coined by Linda Anderson in the 90s and why this ADHD-friendly hack works for everyone, from mirror neurons doing their thing to our primal need for connection. Host Britta Newly shares her own experiences with body doubling, from virtual grad school study halls to panic-cleaning before a friend’s visit. Whether you struggle with ADHD, anxiety, autism, or just the weight of a million tasks, this episode will help you see why having someone else in your space can work wonders for your focus.

So, grab your coffee, press play, and let’s explore why you’re not lazy—you just need a body double.
