Why is it that a task you've been avoiding for three days suddenly becomes completely doable the second another human being is involved? Apparently, other people might actually be useful.

In this episode of Control Alt Think: Conversations with Neurodivergent Minds, ADHD coach Amy Voros and Megan King, Parent Focus Coach, talk about collaboration—and why getting things done together can sometimes feel suspiciously like cheating.

From body doubling and external accountability to folding laundry, cooking, recording a podcast, and tackling projects together, Amy and Megan explore why another person's presence can make a task feel easier, more interesting, and occasionally even… fun. Rude, honestly.

But somewhere along the way, the productivity conversation takes a very on-brand rabbit hole into relationships. What if doing things together isn't just helping neurodivergent brains get things done? What if it's also one of the ways we connect? Amy and Megan unpack shared interests, task-focused communication, co-regulation, and why some of our strongest relationships might be built while we're busy doing something else.

So, is collaboration a productivity strategy? Body doubling? Relationship building? A clever way to trick your brain into folding the laundry?

Yes.
