Last week i was chatting away to my counsellor, and we came up with a novel idea, body doubling works for most of us to get stuff done, makes it easier to get up and start when others are doing a thing.
For me it also works the other way, if everyone else is sitting down, watching TV and winding down, i find it really hard to get up and do the things i’d rather do, like near impossible.
Anyone else notice anything similar?
My wife won’t get it but I always have one earbud in one of my ears playing a podcast or audiobook. It makes it easier to get chores done. She hates it because I’m not immediately available all the time but it just works.
It’s the equivalent of a fidget toy. Keeps the noisy part of your brain busy so you can get stuff done.
