Can ‘body doubling’ really help you focus? Psychologists say maybe.

Body doubling, where a person works alongside another individual, seems to offer real focus benefits, according to psychologists. While it might not be a cure for ADHD, it can help many people stay on task by providing a form of external accountability. This practice taps into social and environmental factors that can enhance productivity, making it an interesting alternative to traditional solo work setups. The implications are significant for anyone struggling with focus, suggesting a potential new strategy to boost efficiency and reduce feelings of isolation while working.
