What else do you do while you scrap?

[Quantum_Leap]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I tend to get pretty restless unless I'm multitasking, and I can never do just one thing at a time. While I scrap, I like to have my audiobooks playing in the background because otherwise I wouldn't have enough time to do both. I've gotten through most of the Outlander and Cormoran Strike series this way. :thumbup: What about the rest of you? Do you tend to have audio or TV playing while you scrap, or do you prefer a quieter environment?

I like to binge watch shows while I'm scrapping/designing, but it helps if it's a series I've already seen so I don't catch myself watching more than working, LOL!

 

[SweetChar]

I usually have my youngest son and/or husband around while I'm scrapping. There's often a news type show playing where I can't see it but I can hear it. Which I tend to tune much of it out. lol Or there is conversation going on here & there. On the rare (very rare) occasion that I'm home alone and scrapping...I just have it quiet.

 

[JillW]

Most of the time I have a true crime show streaming when I scrap.

 

[nesser1981]

I usually watch something/sort of. I use to always listen to music until I switch to a laptop from a desktop. Now the TV is always on.

 

[AmieN1]

Me too! Either an audiobook or music usually. Sometimes I have to pause my book to do my journaling, but otherwise, I'm almost always listening to an audiobook (all day long- not just when scrapping!)

This. Or it’s something I don’t have to pay much attention to, usually a baseball game or a home design show.

 

[jacinda]

I have YouTube or facebook reels playing. I do get distracted with them though, so my scrapping is then even slower than usual.

 

[kristalund]

I will watch TV or listen to music or a book.

 

[Sherly]

I usually listen to music here.

 

[tjscraps]

The TV is always on at my house if my hubby is home lol I can't do audiobooks when I scrap - I lose track of the story and then have to rewind ... I listen to those during my hour long commute every day instead.

 

[rach3975]

I also listen to audiobooks while I scrap (and cook, clean, and drive).

 

[wendyp]

I always listen to music when schrapping/ designing. Or Spotify or just radio

 

[Saar]

Nothing!
I like peace and quiet. Lol.

 

[jumbbumble]

I always have youtube or music on the background or watch what my hubby is watching on tv

I'm the same way. I usually have to pause my show or audiobook so that I can journal - I can't seem to multitask my brain that way.

 

[aussiegirl]

I am ok with a quiet background, but I tend to be more inspired when I listen to music. I can also scrap if the girls are watching a TV show or movie that I am either not interested in or have already seen.

Funny thing is, some pages, I know what I was watching or listening to while I scrapped it!

this is me sometimes. I just rewatched Tiger King lol

 

[KristinCB]

This thursday while designing i'll definitely be streaming the eras tour

I often listen to Audiobooks. however I try to make sure I start them while on a walk - it's a habit for me that I got into and I also seem to be able to understand the story a little bit better if I at least start while on a walk. I use to only allow myself to listen to them while on walks but there is no shortage of audiobooks out there so I changed my ways LOL. if i'm listening while working I usually have the speed set at 1.5x but walking 1.8 - 2.0 (depending on if the narrator has an accent or not)

 

[cherrygutz]

Either I read on my kindle, listen to music, listen to podcast or watch Bailey Sarian on youtube.

 

[3BluEyedBabies]

Sometimes I listen to music, but lately, I just try to enjoy the quiet when my 3 kids aren't here! If it's the middle of the day, I might be doing dishes or working through loads of laundry while working on a page. I've never really listened to an audiobook, maybe I should try one of those!

 

[mywisecrafts]

I tend to solve all my world problems while I scrap. Or replay things that have occurred in my head and analyze if I overracted, what I should have done etc.

If you get bored solving your own, you can try to fix mine :wub:

My problems don't tend to leave me bored, but rather feeling old. LOL. I can be open to a change of scenery when it comes to problems. LOL.

 

[KristinCB]

maybe we should all gather around and play hot potato with our problems

 

[TraceyM]

Sometimes I want pure quiet, sometimes I play a youtube video of birds chirping outside, or waves rolling in, and sometimes binge through shows or movies. However, it helps me if I already know the characters so I don't spend all my time looking at the tv.
