You’ll then experience body doubling firsthand as you dive into your chosen task for 25-minutes alongside a supportive community of fellow ADHDers. After the focused work session, we’ll guide you through a brief period of relaxation and invite you to reflect on your achievements and the quality of your focus.

Unpack the science of ‘flow’ and uncover how this elusive state can transform not just your work, but your overall quality of life.

FAQ’s
Who is the event for?
Everybody struggling with focus, distraction or wanting to improve their productivity, aka essentially all of us. It is especially suited for anyone that is neurodivergent or suspects they might be. But everybody is welcome, and understanding the concepts we’ll explore makes work better for everyone.
What is body doubling?
Body doubling is a powerful technique used to improve focus and productivity. It’s simply the act of working in the presence of somebody else. This gives you a sense of companionship, but also a boost of accountability and motivation. And if you struggle with distractions, a body double gives you an ‘anchor’ for your focus, to bring you back to what you mean to be doing.
It’s a technique that’s often recommended to people with ADHD – but it works for everybody.
What do I need to bring to the event?
Bring a task you want to get done, and expect to spend some time actually doing that task. It can be anything – getting to inbox zero, writing a difficult report, or planning out a presentation. Just make it a clearly defined task so you’re ready to get stuck into it.
How long is the session?
The session will last 50-60 minutes.
What is FLOWN?
FLOWN is an online platform that uses the power of virtual co-working to help people stay focused and beat distraction. We offer ‘body doubling’ sessions throughout the working day, as well as other tools proven to help you focus – such as weekly breathwork sessions, communal morning routines, work-with-me movies, and more.
