We're building Double (https://doubleapp.xyz https://doubleapp.xyz) as something that fixes a need of our own.
We observed that doing activities in the presence of others overcomes HUGE hurdles in motivation (called body doubling in ADHD communities, but also known as social facilitation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_facilitation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_facilitation). It's an incredibly interesting effect and something we are excited to share with others as we build it out and discover new ways to tap into the phenomenon.
- speedylight 4y agoYes sir, I’ve observed this effect first hand -> it’s monumental how focused and dedicated I can be simply because another person is close by either watching, or helping with whatever I’m working on. I hate the fact that I can’t really achieve that baseline when I’m doing something by myself though, which is my preference usually when I’m working.
