A while back, a trend started called “Sleep Streaming” which involved people going live while they sleep. Viewers were able to look at the person’s profile and watch a live video of that person sleeping. This was done mainly to be therapeutic. It could also be kind of weird.
Following in the “Sleep Streaming” theme, people are now live streaming themselves at work! People sitting at a desk, typing, writing, and working away on a computer!
People are doing this mainly when remote working. It’s said to mimic being at an office where others are working around you.
They’re calling this “body doubling” or “parallel working.” A woman has been doing this for quite sometime. She streams for five hours of her work day on TikTok. What does she do for her job? She’s a data analyst. During her five hour live stream, she takes breaks to answer peoples questions on the feed or in the comment section.
Since she started “body doubling”, she’s accumulated over 100,000 followers on the platform. Her daily streams usually get thousands of views. Instead of her calling it “body doubling” or “parallel working” she calls it “working alone together.”
So besides getting views and her interacting with people, what is the benefit of doing this? They’re saying that body doubling can help people who struggle with ADHD and loneliness. Also it helps people focus when working in a remote environment. It also can boost peoples moods and productivity!
