  "account": "I have a tendency to approach tasks in a manner that a few years ago, I would have struggled to articulate. Recently, I opened a visa application form for a family vacation and was aware that it would take an hour to complete. I was not lazy or avoiding the task; I simply had a lot on my plate at work. Despite having completed previous tasks, this particular one remained unstarted. The uncertainty and lack of self-explanation regarding this issue was even more concerning than the task itself. I missed the trip due to the processing window closing on the form, which took an hour to fill out. This experience led to the realization that a diagnosis could help explain the pattern, though it did not fix the issue. I was diagnosed with ADHD during my master's program at the age of 23, and while it provided a sense of relief, it did not change the fact that the form remained unfinished. The turning point came when I realized the importance of having someone present while I worked, a concept known as body doubling. This support allowed me to overcome my executive function challenges and maintain focus while working at my computer. The library's silent study areas were ineffective for me due to the overwhelming silence and resulting restlessness. However, when I moved to a table with another person, I was able to work in the same silence without distraction. The app designed to replicate this experience is called Momo: ADHD Body Doubling. The word \"ADHD\" is a popular search term, while \"body doubling\" indicates high intent. By incorporating both terms in the app's title, I aimed to maximize discoverability. The app's primary function is to provide social accountability, leveraging the technique of body doubling to help individuals with ADHD overcome their executive function difficulties.",
  "summary": "ADHD + body doubling in the App Store title is ASO. I used both because I have the diagnosis and I still miss one-hour forms.",
