👥 Body Doubling Apps

You sit alone for two hours and can't start. A friend joins — suddenly you're productive.
It's not coincidence. ADHD brains need external presence to activate dopamine and trigger task initiation.
You don't need a friend in the room. Focusmate, Flown, or any virtual coworking app does the same job.
Solo focus was never the answer. Shared focus is.

An idea which might actually be useful in this particular neck of the woods: a group for finding accountability buddies, body doubling partners, periodic check-in companions, etc who want to communicate via XMPP and/or Delta Chat (edit: and/or Signal, why not).

This could exist both on microblog fedi and threaded fedi (threadi).

The problem: I can't reliably moderate such a group every day or I'd have already started it myself. I overload and disappear for several days too frequently to be the prime mover for a community like that.

So, I will set the idea free in case anyone thinks like they might be better able to enact it.

Body Doubling wanted? English below
Ich hatte eine schöne internationale Body-Doubling-Runde, wo wir 1x die Woche 5-10 Min gequatscht haben, dann 1h Mikro (& Kamera optional) aus und deep work.
Leider hat die sich aufgelöst - hat jemand Lust? Dann würde ich evtl. selbst eine starten.

Anybody interested in a weekly (no strings!) body doubling session? Mine stopped, but I loved the setup: Check in, banter, mic off and deep work for 1h, check out.

Yesterday I did a body doubling session with my friend in Singapore. She tidied her bedroom while I deep-cleaned my fridge.

Afterwards, a more local friend came for dinner and I made her fresh green pea and leek soup with thyme, and rhubarb goats cheese tart with caramelised shallots,honey and balsamic vinegar. Also served a fresh salad with olives, bread and dips.

All in all a pretty good day that made me feel a lot better at the end of it than I felt when I woke up. It’s been years since I cooked for a friend but maybe I should pick it up again.

Letztens habe ich hier irgendwo gelesen, dass eine Fediverse-Instanz weggebrochen ist, die gerne für Body-Doubling bzw. das verabreden dazu verwendet wurde.

Der Verein #WohnzimmerNeurodivers bietet dafür eine eigene Plattform inkl. Chat- und Video-Option an.

Habe es selbst noch nicht getestet aber vielleicht kann das ja bei jemandem eine Lücke füllen.

@AncTreat5358
> The YouTube ADHD Love channel creators have an app/service specifically focused on ADHD body doubling

The app is called Dubbii and there's info about it here;

Sadly it seems to be mobile-only, proprietary, and only available from Goggle Prey Store or on iThings. So not an option for me.
