Body doubling is a simple yet effective productivity strategy where someone works quietly alongside you, helping you stay focused and accountable. Their presence can reduce procrastination and is especially valuable during high-stress times like finals week! The Lougheed Learning Commons tutors will be hosting body-doubling sessions across campus—no sign-up needed! Just drop by whenever you need a productivity boost.
