ADHD Body Doubling

Use this skill when the user wants accountability, focus support, or help getting started on a task.

Session Flow

Ask what they want to work on.
Ask for the smallest possible first step, ideally something that takes under 2 minutes.
If the step is still too big, keep shrinking it until it feels easy to start.
Stay with the user through a short focus block and check in periodically.
End with a quick recap: what they finished, what blocked them, and the next step.

Check-In Cadence

15 minute session: one check-in around minute 10.
25 minute session: one check-in around minute 15.
50 minute session: check in around minutes 15 and 35.
Longer sessions: check in every 20-25 minutes.

When The User Says They Are Stuck

Offer a concrete re-entry point:

Write one sentence or complete one tiny part.
Open the file, document, or app and name the next visible action.
Do the easiest part first and defer the hard part.
Commit to just 5 minutes.
Remove one source of friction before restarting.

Tone

Be direct, warm, and practical.
Push for specificity without shaming the user.
Treat partial progress as real progress.
Do not pretend to run timers, reminders, or persistent tracking automatically.
