I’m kind of surprised it’s working, but I’ve got a lot more done this week. Set Streaks for hand writing ✍️ a few timed minutes every day (I think something benefits the brain from physical writing vs keyboard all the time). Streak for just 60secs of planking each day, reading actual books for a few minutes each day vs online reading (same personal theory as handwriting), meditation every day, and a certain amount of steps every day. A certain amount of water each day too.
Didn’t want to add too many because I didn’t want to sabotage it before I even give it a chance.
Even added one negative streak related to alcohol. Was ready for a glass of wine last night but it was getting late and I didn’t want to break the streak. Kinda dumb, but it’s working so far.
Need to fine tune the Pomodoro thing some I think, because I’ll just be getting into the zone with some work, when the alarm dings for a break. I want to keep going, but I also want to try this method out so I force myself to take a break anyway. Seems counterintuitive to staying in flow.
That's exactly my issue with the Pomodoro technique (which I've used a ton in the past), it's too focused on time, and not focused on flow. So for me putting on a pair of headphones and listening to the Naturescape app is far more enjoyable. It ends up being just as productive as the Pomodoro technique, but it's not a grind and seems to naturally get me into a state of flow quite quickly, and the time just slips away.
I've now been doing the NatureScape experiment for ten days straight and it's still working. Out of curiosity I also tried listening to some binaural beats from YouTube, but they are too relaxing and just make me want to sleep or chill out. There's something in the NatureScape sounds that makes me feel alert and awake, in a good way. I also tried using the Moodscaper apps and they worked OK, they were nice for a change but I still prefer NatureScape.
I'm still curious to see how I feel about this in a month's time, but so far I would say this thing is life-changing for me. My morning productivity has increased tenfold, and when I've got the headphones on I completely forget that I'm tired and groggy. The only hitch is that my cheapo noise-cancelling headphones (which I quite like) aren't really comfortable enough to wear all day, so now I'm eyeing a pair of Bose Quiet Comforts - but it's for work you know.
I will have to look into this/give it a try. Anything you can say My morning productivity has increased tenfold is worth investigating...I haven't listened to Naturescape yet. Any particular sound or set you'd recommend?
As for Pomodoros.....I like the idea, but have found for me it needs adjustment. I almost exclusively use it in 50 minute chunks, usually only two and with a 10 minute break....essentially all but two hours of serious work. Get a lot done
You can try the NatureScape app for free, it comes with 5 sounds that are representative of the collection. Just try it for a day using the free sounds and you should know soon enough if it's worth it for you.
I bought the whole collection (obviously) and there's only about 3 sounds I dislike. There's a lot of very beautiful and immersive sounds in there. My two favourites are The Beckoning Ocean and Serpentine. YMMV of course.
Thank you Mister. Will dive in....
If there is ONE wanker among us who shouldn't be barking about TMI it would be you.
Sorry... not sorry.
@JohnnyGoodyear didn't you recently buy a pair of Bose noise-cancelling cans? Which ones did you get? And what's your impression of them? Just doing a bit of market research.
Serpentine is good. Sheltered is my absolute fav, followed by Ataraxis.
Had a listen, no question high-quality....previewed a lot of the 'Focus' group as that's really what I would probably benefit from the most (as opposed to meditate or de-stress etc.). Still trying to get my head around the flow here, but it seems as though what @richardyot is doing is cutting out the rest of the world (or at least that part that can intrude via noise)....it's obviously working very effectively for him, so I will certainly give it a try.
Love the Bose. There was a thread where folks chimed in with other suggestions, no doubt cheaper and nothing wrong with that, but I ended up with a pair by accident almost and I was blown away by them. On planes they are amazing, allow me to make music, but more importantly de-stress the noise pollution of long flights, which I wasn't really aware of until I used the Bose things. Changes the experience entirely. They ARE very comfortable, which is a thing for me as I have a large and clumsily-shaped head and most headphones hurt after an hour or so. Not these. Still feel like a luxury purchase, but would fight you for them now etc...
I wouldn't take too much notice of the categories, they're all good for focus as far as I can tell. Also thanks for the feedback on the Bose, I think I'm going to get them as the noise cancelling can only enhance the effect of the NatureSpace app.
Is there a Naturespace recording from a cargo ship, or is it someone else who has that one? I couldn’t sleep after heavy work days the last few nights so was searching my apps for it, ended up in Railfan, which I like, but not as much as the cargo ship one…
Don't think there is a cargo ship.
Good to know, I’ll stop looking there then, thanks. I can’t think where it was, it was pretty good sound wise, which made me think that was the most likely place…
