Body doubling

I have adhd and big problems in getting things started. I will do nothing for the whole day and just watch as my to do list is getting bigger an bigger. My sister is also diagnosed with ads and we found a „hack“ that really helps us both; we call each other on video chat and just go on with our normal day. For example; I wake up at 9 o’clock but can’t make it out of bed. So I lay in bed for hours, scrolling through my phone, doing absolutely nothing but meanwhile I know, I have to do a lot of things today. So I call her and just after 1-2 minutes I get up, I make my bed, I start working and she is just with me. I don’t know why, but it helps a lot in getting things started and not think about it too long. Has anyone else such experience? Or maybe an other hack how you get yourself to start your tasks?

Yes, body doubling is amazing! Some of my ND Discords also have body doubling channels.
