Hello all:
am working as a freelancer in my studio, and many many times, am working alone,
i discovered that, when i have someone that is working with me, all things can be achieved, i can finish all neeeded tasks,
but while working alone, nothing happened,
just trying to find any other thing to do but not my work,
after studying my case, i discovered that, i need a body doubling while working,
and to get a human body doubling is not possible in many times, so am searching to find good solutions.
I found a place called Focusmate,
this is a website for this purpose only,
just you have another person working at the same time, and you can mute or unmute your mike to feel that you are not alone.
but this site is not fully accessible, and also, many people there like to open just there cameras,
but, are there any body doubling websites for blinds? that is fully accessible and people there would like to use there mikes?
or, if you have another solutions for me?
also, am trying to find a good person to work with me solving my issue on the long run, because, i have this thing for more than 20 years.
ANy ideas will be highly appreciated.

Background noise?
I think you can find tracks, e.g. on Spotify, probably buy them somewhere too, of background noise like people in a coffee shop. Supposedly that's better than music, which seems weird to me, but that's what some people claim. Anyway the point is that it's not like quiet music or the ocean or something, it's stuff with people in it, like the kind of murmuring you'd hear in a place like a coffee shop, you know that background conversation.
Here's one on Youtube, butthe other stuff I've heard is just the background conversation and noises, no music and no foregrounded computer clickity-clacking. But it sounds like maybe thatwould help you a bit more?

no noise needed
I think that i do not want noise at all, because am working in a studio.
but i need a body doubling, someone to stay with me while working.
i hate setting alone,
Can you talk to these people beforehand?
I know you said the site wasn't totally accessible, but it sounds like you've used it enough to know that more people than not just want to use their camera. Could you post or get in touch with a few people or something, and tell them that since you're blind, you need somebody willing to open their microphone as well?
I mean, I don't generally go around announcing "hi,, I'm blind", but for something like this I would, because that fact is going to directly affect what I get out of it, so unless you can just find people who usually do microphone as well, it makes sense to let them know. I feel like most people would probably generally be pretty helpful here.
Good luck!
