00:00Having trouble concentrating on the task at hand?
00:03Can't bring yourself to start the chores you know you must do?
00:06Distracted by every screen everywhere all at once?
00:10Try body doubling. No, I don't mean doing stunts for famous actors,
00:14nor do I mean getting an identical robot clone.
00:17Body doubling simply means having another person in the room with you,
00:21preferably doing something similar to you for motivation.
00:24According to HuffPost, working alongside someone, whether it's at a coffee shop or at home,
00:29helps staying focused and not growing overwhelmed, especially to people with ADHD.
00:34But wait, there's more!
00:36Healthline reports that if your body double can't be with you in person,
00:40they can still help you via video chat.
00:43This can be just as effective as having someone who is physically present.
00:47Now, body doubling won't work for everyone.
00:50Some people may find having someone else in the room distracting,
00:53especially us social butterflies, but it's a great tool to keep in your toolbox
00:57for when certain tasks seem too demoralizing.
01:00A little kick of motivation and accountability may just be exactly what you need.
