Why body doubling works

For a lot of neurodivergent brains, the hardest part of focus isn't the task โ€” it's being alone with it. Having another presence (even a silent one) activates accountability without judgement.

This timer isn't a real person, but the pattern still helps. You're not doing the thing alone. And it won't shame you if you pause.
