NEUROKIN NETWORKS

🌟 Body Doubling Sessions 🌟

Are you a neurodivergent student eager to boost your academic productivity? Join us for Body Doubling sessions, designed to provide a sense of accountability and the right amount of social pressure and structure.  

Body doubling is considered beneficial to ADHDers by people with lived experience and experts but may be helpful to anyone looking to improve productivity.

What to Expect

🤝 Supportive Environment: Connect with peers who understand your neurotype without the need for explanations or judgments.  

✨ Flexible Atmosphere: We will follow a loose structure of:  

  • 10-minute check-in 
  • 25-30 minute sprint 
  • 5 minute brain dump  
  • 10 minute brain break 
  • 25-30 minute sprint 
  • 5 minute brain dump  

Sessions are hybrid.  

⏲️Visual Supports: We will display a visual timer.  

We know everyone has different preferences for getting their work done, so we will have coloured sticky dots on hand that allow you to signal your body doubling preferences to staff.   

🟢 Help me break down my tasks into more manageable steps  

🟡 Check in with me periodically to make sure I’m on task
