Boost Your Productivity with a Body Double – Yes, It's a Thing!
Hey fabulous She Works fam!
Are you ready to take your productivity to the next level? Then it's time to meet your new best friend: body doubling! This isn't just some trendy buzzword – it’s a legit way to stay focused and get stuff done, especially if you’re rocking that neurodivergent brain. Let's dive in and unleash your inner productivity beast!
What the Heck is Body Doubling?
Body doubling is when you work alongside someone else, either in person or virtually. Think of it as having a productivity buddy who keeps you on track and makes sure you don’t dive down that YouTube rabbit hole (we’ve all been there, right?). Just having someone else around can work wonders for your focus and motivation.
The Science-y Stuff
Let's get nerdy for a sec with some stats:
Laser Focus: According to the Journal of Applied Psychology, people who co-work see a 48% boost in focus and productivity. That’s nearly half more work done just by having a buddy!
Motivation Magic: The Hawthorne Effect shows we perform better when someone’s watching. So, if you know your buddy is there, you’re way less likely to get distracted by cat videos.
Support Squad: The American Journal of Community Psychology found that working together creates a sense of community and shared goals. Translation? You’re not alone in your hustle.
Who Needs Body Doubling?
Everyone, duh! But seriously, it's a game-changer for those of us in the neurodivergent club, like our friends with ADHD. If you find it hard to start or finish tasks, a body double might just be your secret weapon.
How to Get Your Body Doubling On
Find Your Buddy: Team up with a fellow She Works member or that friend who also needs to get their act together.
Set Clear Goals: Decide what tasks you’ll crush together. No ambiguity here!
Schedule Sessions: Keep it regular. Consistency is key, my friends.
Stay Connected: Whether it’s video calls, co-working spaces, or virtual hangouts, keep that connection strong.
