Body doubling isn't only for neurodivergent extroverts. I'm an example of a neurodivergent introvert who needs body doubling to do more than 2-3 hours of work per day. I understand what you mean, though. The problem with working from a coffee shop is that your strength and motivation to go there must come from you. You must get up, leave your apartment, go to the coffee shop, and decide to work there. For chronic procrastinators, it's rather tricky. A person like that needs enough motivation to do it but not enough to work alone. Shameless plug - you can try us (https://workmode.net/). However silly it sounds, we provide body doubling as a service. Try the demo session - no registration is required, and it lasts from 15 minutes to several hours. Some features that might convince you to finally give body doubling a shot: - you connect with our employee (aka productivity partner), not a random stranger,
- you always connect with the same productivity partner,
- all sessions are 1-on-1. It's just you and your productivity partner,
- you don't have to enable your camera. We don't rely on you being our body double. We're happy as long as text chat/audio/screen sharing/webcam feed makes you productive,
- you can share your screen at a greatly reduced resolution. It's enough for us to distinguish between you watching Youtube/reading Hacker News and spending time in IDE/Excel/other work-related apps. We're unable to read any text on your screen, even at 32px font size,
- every day, we make sure that you connect with us. We make sure you tell us when you want to start the next day, and in case you don't show up, we'll call you and keep calling you.
