Editorial gift idea · estimated planning band Free or made

A remote body-double hour for one avoided task

Offer one scheduled hour in which the friend chooses a safe bounded task, states the first step, and works with a quiet video, audio, or text presence. Check in only at agreed intervals, celebrate stopping as well as finishing, and keep all documents and screens private.
