body-double-session

Set up and run a body-doubling session — using another person's presence (in the room, on a call, or a chat check-in) to start and stay on the task your ADHD brain keeps bouncing off. Use when someone says 'I can't start this task', 'body double with me', 'I only work when someone's around', or has ADHD/executive-dysfunction and a task that won't begin. Produces a session plan, the exact ask to send a body-double partner, and a solo fallback for when no one's available.

# Body Double Session Skill

Body doubling — working alongside another person's presence — is one of the few
ADHD strategies that reliably converts "I physically cannot start this" into "it's
half done." It isn't accountability or supervision; the other person does nothing
but exist nearby, and somehow the task that was impossible alone becomes possible.
This skill sets one up properly: pick the right task, structure the session so the
doubling actually helps (there's a way to do it wrong), write the slightly-awkward
ask to a partner, and — because the partner isn't always available — build the solo
approximations that borrow the same mechanism.
