Episode notes

Are you avoiding tasks you know you need to do? Whether it’s filing taxes or cleaning your garage, sometimes the hardest part is just starting. In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into a powerful productivity hack called body doubling—a game-changer for people with ADHD and anyone struggling with procrastination. Discover how having someone nearby can help you tackle those frogs faster and why admitting you need support is a strength, not a weakness.

    • Frogs are the tasks we need to do but dread tackling—often uncomfortable, tedious, or overwhelming.

  5. Common frogs for ADHD individuals:

    • Tasks like taxes, cleaning spaces, or completing administrative work can become manageable with this hack.
Memorable Quotes:
  • "Body doubling isn’t about someone holding your feet to the fire—it’s about emotional support. Like holding your hand while crossing a scary bridge."
