You're Not Lazy. You Just Need a Witness.

How body doubling helps you break through task paralysis with real, supportive help.

Ever stared at a pile of laundry or a blinking cursor and thought: “Why can’t I just start?”
I mean, you're probably a fairly disciplined person, so it's not really a matter of motivation. Rather, maybe a lack of technique.

What Is Body Doubling?

Body doubling is the simple practice of working alongside someone else, in-person OR virtually, to help stay on task. They don't do the task for you; they’re just there. For many of us, that's what flips the internal switch.

For some people, it’s accountability. For others, it’s just the relief of not doing it alone. Either way, it works.

Why It Works for Stuck Brains

If you live with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or executive dysfunction, you already know the cycle:

You want to do the thing. You know it needs to be done. But your brain says no. 

Body doubling disrupts that. Not through shame, fear, or urgency, but through presence, connection, and gentle co-regulation.

When to Use Body Doubling

Body doubling can help with almost anything you’re avoiding:

- Laundry that went through the cycle three times, but never got  folded
- Inboxes buried under work and never-used promotions you need to unsubscribe from
- Groceries you keep forgetting to buy, even though you've remembered them five times today
- That weird in-between moment when you’re not sure if you’re starting the day or ending it

These aren’t “little things.” They’re the glue of daily life, and when you’re overwhelmed, they’re the first to fall apart and feel like too much.

Mental load is work. Read that again.
