Support by and for neurodivergent+ people
We're excited to bring you our new peer focus sessions: a mini-bootcamp for your executive function! ๐ช๐พ
Focus Sessions are encouraging and empowering weekly events for neurodivergent+ people. Through body-doubling, you will boost your personal productivity and celebrate your wins - big and small, and importantly, centring what productivity means to YOU.

What is body-doubling? ๐ค
Body-doubling is a way of helping people get things done by working alongside someone else. That other person does not need to help with the task itself; they are simply there with you while you do it. This can make it easier to stay focused, get started, and keep going.
Body-doubling can help with tasks you have been putting off or finding difficult because of distraction, low energy, low motivation, limited capacity, or feeling overwhelmed.
Tasks can be big or small, for example:
paying bills ๐ธ
replying to emails or messages ๐ง
doing laundry or washing up ๐งบ
changing bed sheets ๐๏ธ
writing a shopping list ๐
Accessibility โฟ๏ธ
You can take part in any way that works best for you. Including:
Microphone on or off ๐ค
Camera on or off ๐ท
Chat is optional ๐ฌ
Active participation is welcome ๐ค
Captions are on ๐
