Study Rooms

What it is

A study room is a shared online space where you and your partner turn on your cameras and quietly do your own work. No talking, no teaching required — this format, known as body doubling, is one of the most effective start-up techniques validated by the ADHD community.

Why it works

• Seeing the other person study anchors you to your own track;
• A gentle presence dampens phone-checking and mind-wandering;
• Fixed time boundaries (start together, end together) remove every "when should I stop?" decision.

How to use it

1. Create / join a study room from a matched partner or a chat window.
2. Agree on the length (25–50 minutes recommended) and turn on your camera.
3. Study quietly, no interruptions.
4. At the end, each of you reports one line: what got done today and tomorrow's first task.

Tips

• On low-energy days, drop to 25 minutes. A finished short cycle beats an abandoned long one.
• Keep the phone out of sight, and only study supplies inside the camera frame.
• If you prefer some background sound, the room's soft ambience (pages turning, writing) is often just right — easier than total silence.
