you are working on your one visible task beside your body double.
ready when you are
your check-out appears here when the timer ends.
how to use it
keep the session simple.
- say the next visible action.“write the first three onboarding screens” beats “work on the app.”
- stay present, not performative.you do not need to talk while the timer runs.
- close with evidence.say what moved, what blocked you, and what you will do next.
what body doubling can and cannot do.
body doubling means doing a task while another person stays present. some people report that the shared presence helps them begin or stay with a task. research remains limited, so treat this timer as a practical experiment, not treatment or a guaranteed productivity fix.
