Music. That is all

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 months ago

Music, and light dancing. Sometimes air drums.

I do this too sometimes, or listen to a ( VOD ) streamer talk to their gaming friend. The banter is funny

Focusing on all your senses and experiencing them stronger.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago

That's why I prefer to clean barefoot.

Podcasts and audio books.

Make it a game.

You can do things like, I will be able to finish vacuuming this room before the battery dies.

I'll finish loading the dishwasher before the clock strikes the whole hour.

I'll be back inside from putting the rubbish out before this song is finished.

That's how you do it! Gamify all the things. Got through my customer service years doing that.

Freaks me out how much you can get done doing exactly as you say. I often think, "That only took 45 seconds?!"

Time yourself to see if you can get faster.

Drugs!

I like to vacuum while blasting this song. I am the vacuum cleaner. I am the enemy of the DUST!!

When I’m walking a long way somewhere reasonably flat I like trying to see how many steps I can go with my eyes closed.

(Hopefully obvious, not in roadways or on crowded walkways)

Relatedly trying to pedal the least amount of pedals possible on a bike route you frequent.

i like to think how i also benefit from this work.

or sometimes, just tough it out and say to myself "i need to get this done"

Podcasts, gamification, temptation bundling. But that is only after I have procrastinated for some indeterminate amount of time. I have trouble with things that are boring.
