Body doubling is the practice of doing your work in the presence of others, so that you're more likely to stay focused and productive.
Observing others do things triggers your brain to follow suit. It's why you yawn when somebody else yawns and why we feel more productive in a library.
It's to do with 'mirror neurons' in your brain. Flocks trigger these neurons to aid your focus and productivity.
Our body doubling sessions give you a virtual community to work-alongside. You’ll discover many other professionals who share your challenges.
But it's about more than just support. Science shows that by stating your intentions to other people, you increase your chance of success by up to 95%.
An attention anchor is a sensory cue or mental trigger that helps to refocus your attention and signals your brain that it's time to focus.
A body double provides an 'anchor' for your attention, so that you're more likely to stay on task and overcome distractions.
Start your 30-day free trial. Book yourself into a few body doubling sessions - we call them Flocks. We’ll block those slots out in your calendar so you can prioritise your focus time.
Join your body doubling session from our website or your calendar, and be welcomed by your Flock facilitator. Settle down to focus, feeding on the accountability and support of our community.
A morning Take-Off, longer Deep Dive, punchy Power Hour or quick Drop-In, you’ll come away feeling proud you’ve achieved more than you thought possible.
To achieve your best work, you need to weave play, rest, exploration and learning into your day. Listen, watch or read our rich platform of content experiences to recharge your focus.
"FLOWN has completely changed how I work. A few hours of really meaningful deep work helps me feel like I’m really achieving something. I'm more productive now than I have been for a long time - maybe ever. I am setting and meeting achievable goals, which increases my confidence."

Despite the chaotic demands of modern work, the conditions that enable focus, creativity and fulfilment at work are actually known to science.
FLOWN is designed to leverage neuroscience, social science and creative best practice to help you do your best work, while feeling your best self.
Body doubling is the practice of doing your work in the presence of others, so that you're less likely to get distracted. This particularly helps those with ADHD and other neuro-divergencies.
When you're observed as you work, you're tapping into powerful psychological hacks that make you perform better and help you focus.
A McKinsey's study into peak performance shows that we're 5x more productive when we get into a flow state. Imagine being able to tap into this super-power every day!
We need rituals to add meaning and structure into our day. Secular work rituals can keep us accountable, and make our day feel connected and worthwile.
As well as reducing stress hormones such as cortisol, playful exploration helps to trigger divergent thinking – an ideal brain state for problem-solving and creativity.
There is tons of research showing the restorative power of being in nature. Getting out into green spaces is essential to recharging your focus and feeling fulfilled.
I love FLOWN and encourage my team to get stuck into the platform. As a team, we use Flocks to focus together and sprint towards progress. It's a no-brainer for me as a business leader because it boosts their achievement and also improves their sense of wellbeing at work.

I ABSOLUTELY love FLOWN! The deep work sessions have been such a wonderful, transformative experience and addition to my day. I have met lovely people, found a new level of focus and wonder how I ever managed without FLOWN. Thank you!

I've got severe ADHD so my work is often interrupted and I frequently feel overwhelmed. FLOWN helps me work calmly, get through my admin, and achieve more than I'd do on my own.

As a developer, I really value being able to block out distractions and work in a focused way, uninterrupted, for blocks of time. I find Quests great for switching off, too!

What I get from Flocks: concentration, productivity and… connection! FLOWN has a magic formula that helps me focus, while weaving in moments of connection – wonderful for remote workers.

FLOWN is perfect to focus on big tasks. I get the headspace to get stuck in without being distracted by calls and emails. I get work done in less time than it would take me previously just by cutting out the distractions. Having that time in my diary means people leave me alone to complete tasks.
