Neurodivergent-friendly services 🤝
So many neurodivergent people can get distracted or find it difficult to complete tasks. This where body-doubling comes in!! Get more done, feel good doing it. 50+ focus sessions a week to beat distraction and accomplish your work. ‘Flown’ is a fabulous organisation where you can partner up with people online to have someone working alongside you, and this can be in complete silence too. This is hugely helpful if you find it easier to get things done when others around you are working (imagine how productive you are when working in a quiet library or coffee shop but you're in your own home!). I absolutely love this service, such lovely people who run it, definitely check it out 🙌
