I thought this was about mundane tasks too?

Are mundane tasks not the most difficult for people with ADHD?

Not sure where your question is headed. Mine was a reply to the parent which focused on difficult tasks.

People with ADHD experience find it more difficult to choose doing mundane tasks when a more stimulating option is present. Additionally, they are more likely to employ unhealthy coping strategies like avoidance when faced with a chore that is associated with negative emotions. This can cascade into a cycle of feeling like a failure for lack of motivation causing further demotivation. So the difficulty isn't in the task, but in choosing to sit with the task and the associated emotional.

I like this post. You are cleverly saying that body doubling does not benefit people with ADHD

I think it’s more likely they’re saying it benefits everybody

My mistake, so they were agreeing that body doubling is for people with ADHD then. Otherwise a less-charitable interpretation would be that GP is saying that using a website to schedule a stranger to watch you do mundane tasks over Zoom —in 2025– is the same thing as human companionship in general, but that would be a kind of strange thing to volunteer online unprompted
