Revision Body Doubling Sessions! 📚

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!)
We are planning to get them in the diary for over study leave but wanted to check in to see how that sounded?! 📚

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