Understand why another person in the room helps, then design sessions and an accountability arrangement that fit you.
Many people notice they focus better in a coffee shop or library than alone at home. Turning that observation into a reliable system, and explaining it to others, needs a structure. This deck supplies the explanation, the session steps and the agreement templates.

This is a ready-to-use, editable PowerPoint deck of about 47 slides on body doubling and accountability for ADHD. It explains how body doubling works, where to find a partner, a five-step session routine and an accountability partner agreement. It suits adults with ADHD, students, coaches and team leads.
The deck begins with 'just focus' and the coffee shop effect, then defines body doubling and what it is not. It describes the idea of social facilitation and the mechanisms usually given for it, including lower activation energy and gentle accountability, and clarifies that a double is a quiet companion, not a socialising session.
Chapter 3 is practical: who can be your body double (friends, family, colleagues, strangers), virtual coworking platforms, and key considerations such as reliability and fit. Chapter 4 gives a five-step session routine: define the task and goal, set duration and rules, prepare the workspace, start together, then reflect, with a Body Doubling Session Planner template.
Chapter 5 widens to accountability: types of systems, what makes an accountability partner different, and a template Accountability Partner Agreement. Later chapters pair body doubling with time blocking and task batching, present three case studies (a student, a freelance creator and a professional working from home), and end with a self-assessment, a template ADHD Productivity Action Plan and a quick reference.

Present chapters 2 to 4, then use the session planner template to agree on times, tasks and ground rules.
Run a weekly silent coworking hour and use slide 28's agreement as the basis for pairing.
Skim the case studies for the pattern closest to yours, then fill in the action plan template on slide 42.
Download the deck instantly, open it in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides and tailor the templates to your group. Start with slide 22, the session planner, and invite one person to join you.
