Does anyone else just put shows or YouTube videos etc on in the background just to have noise?
I feel like I have to constantly have some sort of information wizzing around in my environment. Even if I don’t pay much attention half the time!!  |

"At the moment it’s a podcast interview with Nancy Pelosi.
She’s not engaging in the slightest but the crackhead part of my brain can’t get rid of the stimulus.  "
With alistair campbell and rory stewart?
Yeah... dissapointing interview. They'often excellent.
Problem with youtube is the ads

"I do like human interaction and put radio on or tv on soft being on my own. "
Not thought of it that way. Maybe it’s a mummy, daddy etc etc issues. I just need to hear people talking 23.5hrs of the day  |

Precisely yes. For some reason I can’t get enough of that podcast. It’s kinda fascinating listening to a pair of centrist dads.
I agree on YouTube. It’s only gotten worse. Continually diluted like every other service in the economy. |

Never used to be so many ads that you’d have to consider that. That’s by design. They water down the service to drive you spend more to essentially get what you had day 1. |

Oh brilliant. It’s like a carbon offset!
If nobody hears electricity being generated elsewhere in a forest it’s not generated right? |

I put the radio on, if I'm home alone, including when WFH. I can't stand long periods of silence.
Putting the radio on vs a YouTube video probably just highlights my age |

Looking at family I’d think I was more likely to be on the autistic side of things. If only slightly. |

I am no eco warrior but without Bee's and Tree's we are pretty much up the creek as one might say,so if Greta is so green does she car share with only drivers with Tesla,BYD and other similar vehicles are the ferries,trains and aircraft she uses non polluting Ev's? or does she do a Forrest Gump and run too venues around the world speak about the finer points of using superglue on tarmac and grid locking major roads in London busses,trucks,cars pumping crap into the air? |

I’m yet to watch the British equivalent. The US show is fantastic background tv. Saying that I’m totally tangled in the social dynamics and love triangles. |

There’s a podcast for everything!
Whatever your interest there will be something!
I’m not remotely close to conjuring the courage to face the crushing responsibility of parenthood but Parenting Hell is properly entertaining. |

Not shows, or utube but I do with music or apps. Mostly music helps me get stuff done whether at home or the gym etc.
Or I use headspace app for sleeping at night. |

It’s funny as I find completely the opposite. Music or sound helps me to tune into what I am working on. |

I will disagree with this. I am highly analytical and have excellent performance. I've never had a quiet space in which to exist and so I find silence disconcerting. I produce far better work in a space with background noise. |

I’m either completely distracted by the tunes or I can bop and get into a super flow. A gear just had to click in my mind. |

My typical day comprises the ongoing cacophony of voice, spatial noise and ambient sounds.
Therefore I much prefer the silence for my solitude and solace, and helps in my concentration and relaxation. |

I don’t always need background something, I do like greatest hits radio and listen to that.
Just now I’m up with dog after kids going to bed and no tv or radio on, although had the drier on. |

Some people just believe that external noise helps to silence the chaos going on in their mind. |
