I don't get it.

It sounds sort of like a technique used by alcoholic anonymous and similar where if you are tempted to drink you call up a buddy to get you through it.

If you had ADHD, you would know that “doubling” is a productivity technique. This service provides a double for someone who doesn’t otherwise have one in that moment.

Yes, it is can be extremely helpful for ADHD. The number of adults I have run across who have attention issues is insane. Very few people realize their own inattention issues.

I mentioned this to my young adult with ADHD and they think it sounds stupid. I guess the concept is like a study partner?

My sister and cousin, who both have ADHD, do this for each other when they are doing organizing tasks. They just use FaceTime and work silently.

Great. It still sounds like something I would never want to do.

Neat. Thanks for sharing.

If you can’t handle anything less than glowing praise for your ideas, don’t post on DCUM ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know I'll sign up and the person I'm paired up with will sign on naked. I've had the worst luck with online freaks.

Hey Op, I also have had good success in my daily life with an app called Routinery.

[Anonymous]

I read that pets are also helpful for some people with ADHD because of the"doubling" effect.

This was obviously someone pitching the product. But it's so amusing I won't report. I mean, your main problem in life is procrastinating and wasting time, so now you'll use what time you have left talking to a stranger about you waste time? Sounds like a solid business plan.

OP, thanks for sharing - I think this might help me and I really need help!

[Anonymous]

This sounds creepy. Just find a friend to announce your accomplishments to. What’s the difference?

Not spam.

Also: why would a link to an app be spam anymore than a link to online shopping?

This is totally something that would work for someone with ADHD. I don't like the idea of the camera on, but I do understand the utility of it.

Well gosh, you are being so superior and judgy, but I won't report it because it's clear you need to be heard and putting someone else down is your communication of choice.
