  • I haven’t read other comments but it is worth checkjng your TV audio setup. You might want to set the sound output to cinema or speaking mode. Thus changes the sound and optimizes it for easier listening. If the audio is set to music, it will be amplified and nice to hear but difficult to decipher.

    My guess is you your brain puts too much work to decipher the sound and construct words. You can make your brain do leaa work just by changing how the sound is output so it becomes easier to distinguish word, thus not need to compensatory with higher volume.

    Of course you may need to experiment with you TV settings to find what is suitable for you. Obviously an audio setting ibtized for speach would reduce quality of music out put.

    If you use MS Teams, you will notice that when you start a phone call but still have music playing then out will change in tone. For the same reason, Radio presenter in the past would speak a certain way so they can be heard correctly over the radio.,



  • As @xmunk said, cleaning needs to be embedded in other tasks. If you cannot figure out how to embed a given task then you can set it for a fixed schedule. For example, you say that you clean your desk or office on Saturday morning and you have a given set of steps you accomplish.

    Another trick I learned from corporate world is to delegate the tasks. It is more manageable to follow up on someone doing it for you than you actually doing it. This can be someone else living with you, or someone you can hire to do. For example, you can hire someone to clean the house every Sunday. This later option could be expensive.

    If you want to embed tasks and do it yourself, then you need to make them easy for you, for example, you can overstock cleaning products. Let’s say you have a kitchen microfiber towel that hangs nearby and a dedicated cleaning product at reach. You consider that a meal (launch or dinner) equals, fetching the ingredients, cooking, eating and cleaning dishes, putting away dishes, and finally cleaning them. If you don’t clean dishes then you consider you did not finish your dinner.

    Same thing for the bathroom, you need cleaning tools at reach when you are in the bathroom, don’t reuse kitchen stuff to clean the bathroom. Then when you shower, you clean the bathtub, the mirror, the sink, your underwear, wipe the floor, etc.

    Participants need to find the right balance of information. I noticed it is productive when developers give just enough information for other to understand but not too much to confuse them and loose time. This is not easy to achieve…
