why studying with other people works
study with me videos took off for a simple reason: it's easier to start and keep going when someone else is working too. it's the same reason a library or a coffee shop helps. psychologists call it social facilitation; people with adhd often call it body doubling.
a video is one-way and pre-recorded. in pixeldoro the people around you are focusing right now, and they can see you too. that small bit of accountability is often enough to stop scrolling and start the next pomodoro.
