Revision Body Doubling Sessions! 📚

ellaella Posts: 232 Trailblazer
edited May 5 in It's Exam Time
Hey Everyone! We are planning some body doubling study sessions during the day over the study leave period and wanted to see what you thought.

The body doubling technique is used to help people focus on their tasks. We know it is exam time at the moment so have come up with a way to support the community during this particularly stressful time of year!

Think of the sessions as a virtual space where you can work alongside others in a structured, timed manner. They will be held on Chatwee with a set of other people who want to get on with some work & will hold you to account if you have the tendency to just sit there and faff!

Here is what a session might look like:


join and type in a short list of what we want to get done in that hour
take 5 minutes for everyone to say what their session goals are & say hi (this might be verbal or typed)
work quietly for 20 minutes while the moderator shares a link to some study music which can be muted if you want
take a 5 minute optional break for water & a stretch
work quietly for another 20 minutes
take 5 minutes at the end to say what we achieved (there’s the accountability!)


If you'd like to attend, please view the dates & SIGN-UP HERE: https://shorturl.at/avAHQ
[You might see some other funky events on the sign-up form... for more info on the exciting events we have planned this month - see our May Events thread!]

We can’t wait to see you there!

    Hi @ella I am personally not doing any revision or studying right now so won't attend this. But I just wanted to say that if anyone needs any help with tips or advice for studying/exams let me know as I have been through the mill of doing GCSE'S and A-Levels so I know the feeling of having multiple exams. <3. If you need volunteers for this I don't mind but it would depend as I am working at the moment.

    I don't think my school are doing study leave :') when would these be (as in rough dates?) If there's any throughout the time I have may half term I'd probably use them but if it's while I'm at school I cant

    Yeah I did my A levels last year and we didn’t have study leave, I don’t even know if it’s a thing anymore 😂

    @Chloe234 I'm hearing that study leave isn't really a thing anymore (It's not even that long since I did my GCSEs so feeling very old out here haha!) Would you be likely to use them if we ran them on Saturdays? <3

    I think they still do study leave or they should do. I had study leave last year but we were the last school to go onto study leave so it was very late. I know some schools are already doing study leave atm

    Want to talk crap about me…go on then
    Want to make me cry…feel free

    Yeah definitely! As long as I don't have things on I'd 100% use them

    I totally love this idea - It's been a while since I've done my GSCEs and A-Levels, but happy to help however I can when I'm not at university as I've done my fair share of exams as well 💖

    Hey everyone, we've noticed that people are now wrapping up exams so we're going to be pausing the revision sessions from now.

    We can see it was such a valuable space though so we'll definitely look to start them up again when exams are back on. We've also been thinking as a team about how it would be nice to do some chats around exam results day so we can all support eachother then too. We'll keep you all updated. <3
