In the fast-paced world we live in, where distractions are plenty and don't spare us as students, from phone apps, group peers reaching us about projects, and newsletter emails from our institution and affiliations, finding effective strategies to enhance productivity to make it to the due date is more crucial than ever. One such technique gaining popularity is "body doubling," a concept rooted in psychology that has proven to be a game-changer for individuals seeking to overcome procrastination and improve focus.
Body doubling involves working alongside our coaches at Control Your Gravity, virtually or in person with the shared goal of maintaining focus and staying on track with your tasks. The concept draws inspiration from the psychological principle of social facilitation, which suggests that people tend to perform better in the presence of others. When applied to your academic studies, body doubling becomes a powerful tool for motivation and concentration.
The primary benefits of body doubling are increased accountability, enhanced focus and concentration, emotional support, and breaking the monotony.
Increased Accountability: One of the primary benefits is the accountability it instills. Knowing that your coach is aware of your tasks creates a sense of responsibility, motivating you to stay committed till completion. This accountability factor can be particularly, helpful for those students prone to procrastination, as it adds a layer of external pressure to meet due dates and achieve goals.
Enhanced Focus and Concentration: Working alongside your coach can significantly enhance focus and concentration by dedicating the space for productivity. The presence of your coach engaged in their reading or writing tasks creates a shared atmosphere of productivity and minimizes distractions. Ultimately, this heightened concentration allows individuals to delve into their work with greater efficiency and leads to improved output.
Emotional Support: Body doubling goes beyond the physical act of working together; it also provides emotional support. Tackling tasks alongside a supportive coach fosters a sense of camaraderie, making the work experience more enjoyable and less daunting. When you are ready to share a struggle, your coach can help you navigate the challenges and celebrate the successes together.
Breaking the Monotony: For students facing monotony or boredom during solitary work, body doubling introduces an element of variety and interaction. Switching between tasks becomes more engaging when there is someone to share progress with, injecting a sense of energy into the work process.
By harnessing the power of social facilitation, you can say goodbye to procrastination and struggling alone, and you can create an environment conducive to focused work with effective strategies to boost productivity. Whether working in person or virtually, the benefits of our program extend beyond the completion of tasks; it creates a supportive and motivating space that propels students toward success unlocking their full academic potential.
