Here’s a guide/Toolkit for body doubling!

💡 Body doubling means working on your own task alongside another person, in person or on a live call. Choose a format that feels comfortable and supportive.

💻 Online options

Focusmate (Paniz’s Favourite!)

Scheduled one-to-one video sessions of 25, 50 or 75 minutes. A useful option if you like a clear appointment with one partner. The camera stays on during the session.

Flow Club (Redditor’s favourite)

Hosted group sessions with a brief goal-sharing moment, quiet work time and a closing check-in. Check the current session format and participation options.

FLOWN

Facilitated focus sessions, drop-in rooms and peer-to-peer sessions. Choose the amount of structure and interaction that suits you.

📚 In-person options

A friend or classmate

Invite someone to work quietly beside you at home, in a library or at a café. Each person brings their own task. Agree on the time, noise level and whether you want check-ins.

Meet to Complete · University of Toronto

Group study through Sidney Smith Commons with goal-setting and structured breaks. Check the official page for current locations, times and eligibility.

🧰 A simple session toolkit

1. Agree on a short block and a shared start time.
2. Choose one small first action, such as opening the document or writing three sentences.
3. Bring an optional timer, headphones and water.
   1. The app “Forest” can also be amazing! 🌳 You’ll plant a tree while you study!
4. Work on your own tasks.
5. End with an optional check-in and decide what to change next time.
6. Limit breaks to short periods of time, like 10 minutes, and then do this cycle again!
