This is great additional context Splintercell. I'll have to toy around with music and podcasts and maybe try going cold turkey for a few days.
I'd be very interested in a full write up, not just in the method but also in your results and observations (once your side project is done of course!).
Thanks for posting this, it definitely synthesizes something I've been struggling with. I did have a question on your method though:
Do you count radio, music audio books and podcasts as social media / something to stay away from, even during your commute?
I have found podcasts and audio books to be very interesting and draining so I can see those probably need to be eliminated for sure. But for music I'd be very interested in your take. My commute would be quite dry without it (although maybe that's the point haha)

Thanks for the great tips!
