00:00:19.908 --> 00:00:24.318
It's called body doubling and especially because it relates to ADHD.
00:00:24.573 --> 00:00:34.603
So if you have ever felt like you couldn't get started on a task, until somebody else was around, you've already experienced a little taste of what body doubling is.

00:00:42.057 --> 00:00:45.107
How does body doubling help women with ADHD?
00:00:45.850 --> 00:00:47.600
body doubling be done virtually?
00:00:48.011 --> 00:00:50.691
What tasks are best suited for body doubling?
00:00:50.981 --> 00:00:54.051
Do both people need to have ADHD for this to work?
00:00:54.570 --> 00:00:58.807

00:01:04.912 --> 00:01:07.581
What should I look for in a good body double?
00:01:07.621 --> 00:01:08.311
That sounds funny.
00:01:08.331 --> 00:01:09.201
What should I look for in a good
00:01:09.402 --> 00:01:10.292
body double, right?
00:01:10.611 --> 00:01:11.831
Should I look just like me?
00:01:11.921 --> 00:01:14.031
Like you're, like, auditioning somebody for a role.
00:01:14.441 --> 00:01:19.677
And how do I introduce the concept of body doubling to someone who maybe doesn't have it?
00:01:19.837 --> 00:01:21.697
ADHD or isn't familiar with it.
00:01:21.807 --> 00:01:22.466
Hmm.
00:01:22.537 --> 00:01:24.716
And you are actually interviewing for a role.
00:01:24.906 --> 00:01:27.066
Because, we'll explain it a bit, but yeah, that's what you're doing.
00:01:27.466 --> 00:01:31.106
So let's first go through and define what body doubling is.
00:01:31.346 --> 00:01:38.927
So at its core, body doubling is the practice of working alongside another person to stay focused and productive.
00:01:39.167 --> 00:01:49.433
The idea isn't exactly to work on the same task either it's just having someone physically present or even virtually present to help you stay accountable and on track.
00:01:49.864 --> 00:02:06.531
And I was talking to Jess a little bit earlier and I was saying this is why those Twitch streaming rooms that are so popular, it's come to work with me or do homework with me or like a study room so people can do tasks together even virtually so they feel a little bit more at home.
00:02:06.682 --> 00:02:07.561
motivated.
00:02:07.712 --> 00:02:19.431
This is a great strategy for individuals with ADHD who struggle with starting or completing tasks because of challenges with executive function, focusing, motivation.
00:02:19.901 --> 00:02:21.382
These things all come into play.
00:02:21.382 --> 00:02:24.611
And that helps when you feel like you're being held responsible.
00:02:24.752 --> 00:02:24.972
Well, it's
00:02:24.991 --> 00:02:25.192
not
00:02:25.192 --> 00:02:25.762
even like
00:02:25.762 --> 00:02:27.865
starting it, it's staying In it.
00:02:27.905 --> 00:02:29.944
I know I can start it and then I'm like doo doo doo doo doo.
00:02:30.034 --> 00:02:30.375
Right.
00:02:31.384 --> 00:02:33.974
And next thing you know, I'm somewhere in the garden.
00:02:34.525 --> 00:02:37.594
So the idea of body doubling, it serves as like an anchor.
00:02:37.745 --> 00:02:43.457
It keeps you in place and it keeps that structure that you need for a sense of accountability.
00:02:43.668 --> 00:02:45.217
So like my daughter and I have done this.
00:02:45.247 --> 00:02:46.418
She's like, Mom, I'm struggling.
00:02:46.418 --> 00:02:47.518
Can I just come work with you?
00:02:47.687 --> 00:02:48.048
Sure.
00:02:48.288 --> 00:02:52.237
You know, I'll be sitting there working on the podcast and she's sitting on the floor doing her homework.
00:02:52.419 --> 00:02:55.849
We're not talking, we're not doing anything besides our own work.
00:02:55.849 --> 00:02:56.610
It's just our presence.
00:02:56.659 --> 00:02:57.379
Exactly.
00:02:57.379 --> 00:03:13.711
And I've even heard this in other terms of relationships too sometimes a partner can feel like, disconnected, and even if you don't enjoy what your partner enjoys, if you just go sit with them while they're doing it, and you're around it makes them feel Yeah.
00:03:13.711 --> 00:03:14.662
And connected.
00:03:14.752 --> 00:03:14.931
Yeah.
00:03:14.931 --> 00:03:23.882
Sometimes my husband will, sit on his computer and he'll play his game and I'll sit and do my thing next to him, even though we're not really talking or doing our things, but we're still together in the same room.
00:03:23.891 --> 00:03:25.111
So it's I guess the same thing.
00:03:25.111 --> 00:03:25.331
Yeah.
00:03:25.331 --> 00:03:25.421
So
00:03:25.611 --> 00:03:26.431
parallel.
00:03:26.451 --> 00:03:26.762
Yeah.
00:03:26.762 --> 00:03:27.972
Like parallel play.
00:03:27.972 --> 00:03:28.271
Yeah.
00:03:28.271 --> 00:03:29.882
With kids when you're younger.
00:03:30.266 --> 00:03:34.387
So where does this idea of body doubling come from?
00:03:34.985 --> 00:03:36.155
It's not a new concept.
00:03:36.164 --> 00:03:41.134
It's gotten really popular though, because of platforms like TikTok and YouTube.
00:03:41.514 --> 00:03:45.275
Just these young kids, young kids, these younger generations.
00:03:45.406 --> 00:03:48.996
are out there and they're learning about body doubling.
00:03:49.752 --> 00:04:04.822
the term body doubling specifically became more well known thanks to ADHD advocates, especially on social media and lots of generations sharing their experiences with their mental health and their tips online.
00:04:05.002 --> 00:04:06.961
So it's become more.
00:04:07.021 --> 00:04:10.032
Mainstream to talk about this currently exactly.
00:04:10.042 --> 00:04:11.812
This is what we did in college.
00:04:11.831 --> 00:04:13.081
That's how I study buddy.
00:04:13.092 --> 00:04:13.391
Yeah, a
00:04:13.401 --> 00:04:14.472
study buddy or an
00:04:14.472 --> 00:04:15.711
accountability partner.
00:04:15.711 --> 00:04:19.932
Like when you work out, it's the same thing for keeping on tasks or your mental health.
00:04:19.951 --> 00:04:23.992
Like just having somebody in your corner can be so powerful
00:04:24.312 --> 00:04:28.942
and a lot of women are already doing this because they don't realize they have ADHD and they need this.
00:04:29.211 --> 00:04:33.101
They're doing this because they've already gotten to this point where they have these social skills.
00:04:33.458 --> 00:04:34.487
And their social skills.
00:04:34.865 --> 00:04:35.675
My brain.
00:04:36.026 --> 00:04:37.365
It is offline today.
00:04:37.375 --> 00:04:38.026
It is off.
00:04:38.055 --> 00:04:41.755
Mine was offline last week and yours is offline.
00:04:41.755 --> 00:04:54.754
Oh my goodness So let's talk about how this affects specifically women and their mental health So, ADHD in women presents differently than it does in men or boys.
00:04:55.165 --> 00:05:00.014
Many women go undiagnosed until adulthood, like Jess and I.
00:05:00.064 --> 00:05:01.545
Yeah, I was, what, early 40s?
00:05:01.564 --> 00:05:06.574
And by the time that you realize you do have ADHD, you've internalized your feelings.
00:05:06.925 --> 00:05:10.074
You've created a lot of anxiety feeling about this.
00:05:10.115 --> 00:05:18.185
You feel a lot of shame or you feel inadequate because we have struggled to meet social expectations or we have struggled to fit.
00:05:18.334 --> 00:05:19.115
the norm.
00:05:19.401 --> 00:05:26.990
when you have ADHD, it leads to difficulties in managing responsibilities, maintaining focus.
00:05:27.045 --> 00:05:30.571
And we are very well known for procrastinating.
00:05:30.581 --> 00:05:32.201
And I always felt too guilty.
00:05:32.211 --> 00:05:33.901
Like, why couldn't I stay on task?
00:05:33.940 --> 00:05:36.380
Why would I always lose focus?
00:05:36.740 --> 00:05:41.511
I had a professor in grad school says that, you procrastinate because it's a form of opposition.
00:05:41.880 --> 00:05:43.680
And I was like, Oh, so I'm oppositional.
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:44.350
Then great.
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:45.300
No, no, no.
00:05:45.321 --> 00:05:49.690
I'm, I'm ADHD, which is why I waited the last damn minute to turn things in or do things.
00:05:49.740 --> 00:05:51.990
And it makes more sense now that I know.
00:05:52.230 --> 00:05:54.641
And even back then, I did body doubling.
00:05:54.696 --> 00:05:56.382
For things like folding my clothes.
00:05:56.382 --> 00:05:57.973
I talk on the phone while I clean my phone.
00:05:58.202 --> 00:05:58.783
I clean my phone.
00:05:59.043 --> 00:05:59.812
Folded my clothes.
00:05:59.992 --> 00:06:00.742
Oh my god.
00:06:00.742 --> 00:06:02.033
Today is just out of control.
00:06:02.033 --> 00:06:02.632
Sorry guys.
00:06:02.632 --> 00:06:03.543
I'm out of control today.
00:06:03.543 --> 00:06:05.833
Apparently, I'm not even gonna sure if I can edit any of this.
00:06:06.112 --> 00:06:07.132
Well, it's the same thing.
00:06:07.132 --> 00:06:10.002
When Jess and I get together, we're able to focus.
00:06:10.112 --> 00:06:14.213
And boom, boom, boom, put out all these tasks when we're not in the same room.
00:06:14.213 --> 00:06:15.202
We're like, Oh, yeah, we'll do that.
00:06:15.213 --> 00:06:15.502
Oh, yeah.
00:06:16.033 --> 00:06:17.112
Oh, yeah, we'll do that.
00:06:17.423 --> 00:06:22.062
And so it's just a way to be like that you feel like you're being held accountable.
00:06:22.353 --> 00:06:32.862
I feel like as women, we always get so overwhelmed with all of the things that we're juggling caregiving, work, personal goals, whatever habits, like we're trying to do it all.
00:06:33.283 --> 00:06:36.742
this is exactly where body doubling can be such a helpful tool.
00:06:36.752 --> 00:06:37.153
Yes.
00:06:37.163 --> 00:06:41.283
We're always talking about what tools can we use, what tools can we share with you guys?
00:06:41.622 --> 00:06:45.333
Because what it does is it provides external structure and accountability.
00:06:45.603 --> 00:06:51.202
And it really reduces a lot of that mental load that comes with managing all of these tasks solo.
00:06:51.552 --> 00:06:56.653
Even if you're on different tasks, you're not by yourself, you're going to keep working on what you're working on.
00:06:56.682 --> 00:06:59.262
And so it just is another tool to do.
00:06:59.822 --> 00:07:04.843
If you're curious about how to use body doubling, let's go ahead and let's share some practical tips.
00:07:04.882 --> 00:07:05.262
Yes.
00:07:05.552 --> 00:07:08.142
First, find somebody that you can body double with.
00:07:08.182 --> 00:07:19.023
This could be a friend, a co worker, a family member, or you can join an online co working group specifically for ADHD or productivity or studying.
00:07:19.653 --> 00:07:22.202
And then you're going to want to move into what, Jess?
00:07:22.458 --> 00:07:24.367
You want to set a very clear
00:07:24.408 --> 00:07:24.927
goal.
00:07:25.158 --> 00:07:28.608
So before you even start, agree on what you're going to be working on.
00:07:28.858 --> 00:07:34.557
The clearer the task, the more effective the session will be, and that way when somebody can, like with my daughter what you doing?
00:07:35.367 --> 00:07:36.387
What are you supposed to be doing?
00:07:36.398 --> 00:07:36.927
Well, even
00:07:36.927 --> 00:07:54.148
just and I were like, okay, we want to do we want to record two podcasts And then we want to work on our website and then we want to work on our social media and we're like, okay we give ourselves like an outline of the day that we've you know Carved out to spend time on this and then you know, somebody goes into the weeds.
00:07:54.148 --> 00:07:54.718
We're like, what are you doing?
00:07:55.947 --> 00:07:57.348
Come back to the task.
00:07:57.728 --> 00:07:59.017
So what's another thing we can use?
00:07:59.271 --> 00:08:07.396
using technology so like Zoom, Twitch, Focusmate, these are great virtual hangouts for body doubling.
00:08:07.685 --> 00:08:15.855
So even if you can't be physically in the same room, you can still see somebody and have each other, check in and keep on tasks and stay motivated.
00:08:16.067 --> 00:08:16.877
The other thing I
00:08:16.908 --> 00:08:19.728
want to talk about that was keeping our sessions short.
00:08:19.987 --> 00:08:26.348
You really, if focus is going to be the challenge, we have to do like short bursts, the chunking idea.
00:08:26.651 --> 00:08:31.100
don't do more than 25 minutes of focused work followed by a five minute break.
00:08:31.201 --> 00:08:34.791
Yeah, I have the Pomodoro method.
00:08:34.817 --> 00:08:46.177
Timer on my computer so I, I can set it, but I usually do like 15 minutes and then break 5 to 15 minutes and, go again and again if I'm having a hard time, staying on tasks.
00:08:46.288 --> 00:08:51.687
And I will say though, if you're using this method but you're all in a roll and you're like, no, I can keep going, keep going.
00:08:52.128 --> 00:08:52.827
Just keep going.
00:08:53.128 --> 00:08:55.248
And then stop when you're like, Oh, nope, there goes that.
00:08:55.248 --> 00:08:55.967
I lost that thought.
00:08:56.778 --> 00:08:57.758
And that way you can get up.
00:08:57.788 --> 00:08:59.418
I usually get up, walk around, do something else.
00:08:59.418 --> 00:09:00.207
And then I come back.
00:09:00.418 --> 00:09:07.457
another good thing is to experiment with different types of styles of this body doubling that might work for you.
00:09:07.477 --> 00:09:16.835
Maybe you like silent, maybe you like collaborative sessions, maybe you want to chat, maybe you want to listen to music, there's all sorts of different working styles.
00:09:17.274 --> 00:09:20.325
That can, people can benefit with doing this.
00:09:20.384 --> 00:09:20.815
That's true.
00:09:20.835 --> 00:09:22.904
Do you need to sit side by side with somebody?
00:09:22.914 --> 00:09:24.695
Do you need to have them across the room?
00:09:24.705 --> 00:09:27.355
Do you just need them to be somewhere in the room with you?
00:09:27.365 --> 00:09:27.424
Do
00:09:27.424 --> 00:09:28.975
you need them to check in with you?
00:09:28.985 --> 00:09:34.650
Do you need them, to discuss the plan with you or do you need them, just to Encourage you.
00:09:34.910 --> 00:09:35.801
Yeah, exactly.
00:09:35.841 --> 00:09:36.041
There's
00:09:36.041 --> 00:09:39.380
nothing wrong with saying you've got this.
00:09:39.380 --> 00:09:40.291
Let's tackle it.
00:09:40.650 --> 00:09:43.341
My daughter is always going, go mom, you got this mom.
00:09:43.341 --> 00:09:44.370
You've got this mom.
00:09:44.691 --> 00:09:45.730
She is such the great encourager.
00:09:45.730 --> 00:09:46.821
You've got this.
00:09:46.850 --> 00:09:47.620
Little cheerleader.
00:09:47.650 --> 00:09:48.041
She is.
00:09:48.051 --> 00:09:49.451
She is just my little cheerleader.
00:09:49.740 --> 00:09:52.850
Let's go through and answer some of our have you evers.
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:58.821
Okay, so what is body doubling in the context of how it relates to ADHD?
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:08.640
Body doubling is a strategy or a tool that has another person present to help a person with ADHD focus better and complete tasks.
00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:15.931
The body doubling serves as a subtle accountability partner, even if they aren't actively assisting with the task.
00:10:15.971 --> 00:10:24.020
If they're, they're not doing your homework, they're not helping you clean your room, they're doing a task with you, so that way you're both working on something.
00:10:24.081 --> 00:10:25.650
I guess it's also so you don't feel lonely.
00:10:26.375 --> 00:10:27.706
Yeah, like you're not missing something.
00:10:27.755 --> 00:10:28.346
You're not missing
00:10:28.346 --> 00:10:28.605
out.
00:10:28.645 --> 00:10:35.895
Same thing like whenever I clean the house like I never want to clean but if my partner steps in and helps me with it, it gets done.
00:10:35.905 --> 00:10:36.895
He's not helping you.
00:10:36.956 --> 00:10:38.035
He's participating.
00:10:39.375 --> 00:10:49.426
If he is also doing his part then it goes by so much faster and I don't feel the load on my shoulders like alone or any type of resentment.
00:10:49.586 --> 00:10:50.135
With that.
00:10:50.543 --> 00:10:54.182
So how does body doubling help women specifically with ADHD?
00:10:54.812 --> 00:11:07.102
For a lot of women who have ADHD, body doubling helps lower the feelings of overwhelm and procrastination, especially when we have tasks that we don't want to do, say, Randy's cleaning the house.
00:11:07.643 --> 00:11:14.202
The presence of having another person increases our dopamine levels in the brain and it aids to focus on productivity.
00:11:14.212 --> 00:11:15.202
So that's what it is.
00:11:15.212 --> 00:11:18.793
It's a dopamine hit, nice, we can have cheese and body doubling.
00:11:18.793 --> 00:11:20.062
Yeah, there goes our dopamine.
00:11:20.942 --> 00:11:22.023
Get some chocolate in there.
00:11:22.033 --> 00:11:22.783
We're all good.
00:11:23.163 --> 00:11:23.352
All right.
00:11:23.383 --> 00:11:25.942
So Randi, can body doubling be done virtually?
00:11:26.003 --> 00:11:38.273
Yes, it can be effective and done virtually through video calls or even having someone, working side by side on their own tasks, even on a Zoom call, or streaming live.
00:11:38.623 --> 00:11:51.192
And this really helps expands the access that we have of utilizing this coping mechanism, especially if we live in a rural area, or we, work from home and we need more accountability.
00:11:51.312 --> 00:11:55.418
I've even seen my daughter do her homework with somebody else who's doing their homework.
00:11:55.457 --> 00:12:00.378
via, they're on like, I don't know, Zoom or whatever platform they're on, or they're on a call.
00:12:00.408 --> 00:12:02.518
And I'm like, how are you guys both doing homework?
00:12:03.548 --> 00:12:04.298
You're on the phone?
00:12:04.807 --> 00:12:06.878
Oh, or you're on FaceTime or whatever it is.
00:12:06.878 --> 00:12:08.288
Yeah, FaceTime, that's the word I'm thinking.
00:12:08.288 --> 00:12:09.278
I'm like, what's that word called?
00:12:09.577 --> 00:12:09.768
What's that
00:12:09.977 --> 00:12:10.298
thingy?
00:12:10.317 --> 00:12:10.447
What
00:12:10.447 --> 00:12:11.778
is that thing we use all the time?
00:12:11.807 --> 00:12:12.128
Yeah.
00:12:12.138 --> 00:12:13.837
But yeah, they're just doing, both doing homework.
00:12:13.837 --> 00:12:16.607
And every once in a while, you'll hear somebody chat, and then they're still doing homework.
00:12:16.962 --> 00:12:18.123
It's just an interesting thing.
00:12:18.253 --> 00:12:37.759
Yeah, and there's whole communities like that too, so Discord too also has a whole voice chat community that you can use and different discords and they have streaming where you can get on video and stream and talk at the same time and so there's lots of free open platforms that you can do this in.
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:39.549
Everybody in my house has discord but me.
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:39.970
I'm the
00:12:39.970 --> 00:12:40.730
only one that like
00:12:40.730 --> 00:12:41.350
I just got
00:12:41.350 --> 00:12:42.500
it and I'm like, oh the
00:12:42.629 --> 00:12:44.669
whole new world I'm
00:12:44.669 --> 00:12:45.340
not doing i'm not doing it.
00:12:45.929 --> 00:12:46.570
All right, randy.
00:12:46.570 --> 00:12:49.000
So what tasks are best suited for body doubling?
00:12:49.330 --> 00:12:59.663
So it is really beneficial for tasks that might seem daunting or even boring things that you don't want to do at all, household chores, paperwork, your taxes, God,
00:12:59.673 --> 00:13:00.472
don't even talk about that.
00:13:00.493 --> 00:13:00.802
Even
00:13:00.802 --> 00:13:02.793
just, projects or papers you're working on.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.319
00:00:02.350 --> 00:00:03.080
00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:03.805
00:00:03.834 --> 00:00:12.544
00:00:12.605 --> 00:00:15.595
00:00:16.048 --> 00:00:19.719
00:00:19.908 --> 00:00:24.318
00:00:24.573 --> 00:00:34.603
00:00:34.993 --> 00:00:35.463
00:00:35.493 --> 00:00:38.942
00:00:38.982 --> 00:00:39.463
00:00:40.067 --> 00:00:41.448
00:00:42.057 --> 00:00:45.107
00:00:45.850 --> 00:00:47.600
00:00:48.011 --> 00:00:50.691
00:00:50.981 --> 00:00:54.051
00:00:54.570 --> 00:00:58.807
00:00:59.366 --> 00:01:01.887
00:01:02.137 --> 00:01:04.246
00:01:04.912 --> 00:01:07.581
00:01:07.621 --> 00:01:08.311
00:01:08.331 --> 00:01:09.201
00:01:09.402 --> 00:01:10.292
00:01:10.611 --> 00:01:11.831
00:01:11.921 --> 00:01:14.031
00:01:14.441 --> 00:01:19.677
00:01:19.837 --> 00:01:21.697
00:01:21.807 --> 00:01:22.466
00:01:22.537 --> 00:01:24.716
00:01:24.906 --> 00:01:27.066
00:01:27.466 --> 00:01:31.106
00:01:31.346 --> 00:01:38.927
00:01:39.167 --> 00:01:49.433

00:02:25.192 --> 00:02:25.762
00:02:25.762 --> 00:02:27.865
00:02:27.905 --> 00:02:29.944
00:02:30.034 --> 00:02:30.375
00:02:31.384 --> 00:02:33.974
00:02:34.525 --> 00:02:37.594
