Body doubling - Wikipedia
Body doubling or parallel working[1] is a strategy used to initiate and complete tasks, such as household chores or writing and other computer tasks.[2] It involves the physical presence, virtual presence through a phone call, videotelephony or social media presence,[2][3] of someone with whom one shares their goals, which makes it more likely to achieve them.[1] For some people, it works best to both do similar tasks, while for others, just being in the same (virtual) room is enough.[2]
