Working alone, the task has nothing to keep it anchored — attention drifts with no one else in the room.

When to use it

When you keep starting and stopping the same task alone and it's not sticking.

What you leave with

A specific plan for who or what to body double with, and how.

Pick one to keep going.

Why this can help

The presence of another person, even silently, can externally anchor attention and reduce the pull to task-switch.
