Body doubling technique used to assist with home decluttering

The psychological technique known as ‘body doubling’ is gaining popularity as a method to assist with home decluttering and organization. This practice involves having another person present while a task is being completed, which can help mitigate distractions and increase accountability.

Professional organizers note that body doubling is particularly beneficial for individuals with ADHD or those who are neurodivergent, as it can help maintain motivation and combat the decision fatigue often associated with large-scale cleaning tasks. By providing a sense of companionship, the method aims to make the process of tidying more manageable and less overwhelming than traditional solo decluttering methods.
