Wow, very nice to see someone caring to develop interesting solutions in such a niche sphere. I have suffered due to ADHD in my childhood and teenage years greatly. Only later in adult life I realised that I should talk about the symptoms to my doctor and was then sent to get screened for ADHD. Only when I was diagnosed and started building healthy habits, taking medicine and using other techniques did I manage to improve my life. What helped the most is when I got into a relationship with my now wife, which is basically body doubling at its core with the person you love the most. I can definitely say that this technique is useful for people diagnosed with ADHD and this product will help the world greatly! Thank you for bringing attention to this issue and good job on the launch!

@grigory_sl Sorry to hear about your childhood/teenage years. I resonate a lot. So many people get diagnosed as adults and we're hoping with more advocacy work and products (like Shimmer), we can get a better understanding of symptoms and solutions as a society so that people get diagnosed early! Re: your wife, This made me smile so much! I'm so glad you found your person, and it sounds like she brings out the best in you! Best of luck with everything, and the Shimmer community is here if you ever have any questions on your ADHD journey!

Wooow! There are people very close to me in my family that could HUGELY benefit from this tool. If you've ever experienced the needs of ADHD people (whether you're ADHD yourself or not), the benefits of this tool are self evident. Great work!!!

Amazing work, @christal! The concept of body doubling, especially tailored for ADHD, is a game-changer. The features like mood check-ins and Pomodoro timers sound super helpful. Would love to know if there's a way to pair up with the same people for consistency, or if the groups change each time?
Christal Wang
@renchu_song Anyone can drop in for inclusivity, but there are definitely regulars we see come back every Monday morning, or every Thursday evening for example. In the future we'll consider standing up popup challenges where people do a morning check-in everyday for 30 days with the same group. We have tons of ideas now that the base product is up!

I call my friends while walking, running errands, doing laundry or driving somewhere in the car so this is perfect for me - having someone to be there changes the game
Christal Wang
@lillie_sun2 Yes, that's one of the most simple and effective forms of body doubling! I always use the example of calling your mom while doing laundry (my mom hates it when I do this though, she's always calling me "busy and can't sit still and just talk to her" lol)

@christal The combination of ADHD coaching and virtual co-working is brilliant! Can you share some success stories from users who have significantly improved their productivity with Shimmer?
Christal Wang
@taras_tymoshchuk Definitely! You should check out our testimonial page (warning, you may cry! It's so sweet): https://testimonial.to/shimmer-c... Some quotes from our testimonial page: "As a solopreneur, my productivity increased over 100%, which was beyond my expectations." "My Shimmer coach, Coach Randa, has been amazing. She has helped me increase my productivity at work along with feeling more confident and accepting of my ADHD." Others that aren't included there: "This is sorcery. How did I get so much done here in an hour?" "I got more done in this hour than the last 2 days combined"

Hi PH!! I discovered body doubling shorty after being diagnosed with ADHD in my thirties. I am always the most productive when body doubling and I know that so many people are going to benefit from this feature!! Doing it alongside a coach is so helpful. Our team put so much heart and thoughtfulness into creating this for the neurodivergent community. There really was so much collaboration with the community itself to build this. Looking forward to hearing more amazing testimonials from members and excited to watch it grow! 💗
Christal Wang
@trina_haynes Thank you for all that you do for the ADHD community, within and outside of Shimmer. We're so lucky to have you as a core part of the team!
