parallel work tomorrow?

if you have wanted to try digital coworking, join us!

Parallel working is an effective and productive way to get work done! I participate in different groups for writing and general work, and find that an hour of parallel work is equal to two hours of solo work.

Indie Jenn Fischer and I experimented with parallel work today, and it was so good, we are doing it again tomorrow. I thought I would open it up in case anyone else wanted to give it a try. It’s free and no obligation!

how it works:

Use this Zoom link tomorrow, Thursday, 7/24/25, 9 am eastern - 11:15 am eastern. It is a good idea to log on a few minutes earlier to be sure you are in.

Have an idea of what you want to work on. It can be working on a creative project, reading and taking notes, pushing through an obligation that you have been procrastinating on, or paying bills! You decide.

*It is important to know that this is not a social time or a led activity. We will check in and check out briefly, but you can expect the time to be silent and focused. The chat will be open in case you want to ask a question or share some news.

schedule:

9-9:10 - check in, share your work intention (or not), say hello!

9:10-10:00 - 50 minutes of uninterrupted work

10:00-10:10 - check in, how did it go? what’s up for the next sesh? or use this time for a bio break

10:10-11:00 - 50 minutes of uninterrupted work

11-11:15 - check out, how did it go? any insights in your work? what is your intention for the rest of the day?

You can read more about parallel work or body-doubling here. It is often touted as a good strategy for ADHD folx, but as we are all distracted, I think it is awesome for anyone.
