4.40 Why you should body double and how to do it well

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!Body doubling is where you get in a room or virtual space with another person, with the intention of getting something done in a way that is more productive or pleasant than doing it alone. Originally developed by the disabled community, and especially those with executive functioning challenges, body doubling can be live or online, synchronous or asynchronous, and can be for any tasks that you want support in getting done. In this episode I share some of the reasons this approach can be so effective and how you can make it work for you. I’ll also share some exciting news about new videos coming your way soon!If you liked this episode, you should check out my existing study along video here. ****I'm Dr Vikki Wright, ex-Professor and certified life coach and I help everyone from PhD students to full Professors to get a bit less overwhelmed and thrive in academia.
