Vera
ADHD Accountability

Someone on the line while you work.

Scheduled check-ins through a work block, so the session does not quietly dissolve.

You started. Forty minutes later you are somewhere else entirely.

What Vera actually is

A phone call with someone who is not there. You say the thing out loud, they answer the way a real person would, and you get to do it again — as many times as it takes, with nobody listening.

1She calls youA real phone call, about ten seconds after you tap. Lock screen, headphones, car — wherever you take calls.
2She plays the other personNot a coach reading tips. Body Doubling Calls, with someone on the other end who answers back.
3She pushes when you are vagueFollow-up questions, interruptions when you ramble, and a straight read at the end on what landed.

“What if I am bad at it?”Everyone is, on the first one. That is the entire reason it happens here and not there.
“What if I do not know what to say?”She asks first and follows up on whatever you answer. You never start from a blank page.
“What if it is awkward?”It is, for about twenty seconds. Then it is a conversation, and nobody heard the twenty seconds.

Not practising doesn’t save you anything.

The ticket, the evening, the weeks of applying — all of it is spent before anyone says a word. The practice is the only cheap part, and the only part that changes how the rest goes.

What she'll actually ask

She asks these the way a real person would, then follows up on whatever you say.

  1. What are you working on for the next hour?
  2. Are you still on it, or somewhere else?
  3. What pulled you away?
  4. How much did you get through?
  5. Same time tomorrow?
More about this one

Body doubling — working with someone else present — reliably helps many people with ADHD, and the reason appears to be the ambient expectation rather than anything the other person does. The obstacle is availability: focus blocks happen at 11pm, and nobody is free. Vera provides a scheduled version: a call at the start of a block, a check-in partway through, and one at the end to say what happened.

What she listens for

Drift pointHow far into a block attention typically goes, which tells you where to place the check-in.
Specific derailersThe same tab, app, or thought showing up repeatedly.
Block length fitNinety minutes may be too long. Shorter blocks that complete beat long ones that fail.

“The mid-block call is the one that matters. That is exactly when I have usually wandered off without noticing.”
Sasha B., PhD student

Common questions

How long should a block be?

Start at forty-five minutes. Blocks that complete build more momentum than ambitious ones that collapse.

What if I have not done anything by the check-in?

That is the useful call. Restart the block rather than writing off the evening.

Can I book these regularly?

Yes, and recurring blocks tend to work better than ad hoc ones.

What if I am bad at it?

Everyone is, on the first one. That is the entire reason it happens here and not there.

What if I do not know what to say?

She asks the first question and follows up on whatever you answer. You never start from a blank page.

What if it is awkward?

It is, for about twenty seconds. Then it is a conversation, and nobody heard the twenty seconds.
