I’ve been watching Netflix and amazon prime. I was watching doc Martin until Netflix pulled it off. Ughh. I just started on Downton Abbey. It’s going to hard to stay on task. Great series.

I only can watch shows or movies I know well, or shows or movies that are "light" fare. Once I tried to scrap with "Sherlock" on Netflix. LOL! NOPE! So I watch old loved movies, or reruns of sit coms, or things like "American Ninja Warrior"...no attention required

If I wanna be productive it can't be a new to me show. Otherwise I will get sucked in and won't do a thing! So it has to be reruns or my Alexa playing 90's hits.

I always have to have something on in the background.

I need background noise, but nothing new or super interesting. Usually Law & Order or Harry Potter weekend.

Yes I’m finding it a bit distracting.

I watch things online if I don’t have to concentrate too much.

I did quite a bit of scrapping last January. I watched the Hallmark Christmas movies I had on DVR but didn't get to watch during the holidays. Easy to follow the story and not too heavy of a subject matter that it was distracting. I was working on a Christmas album, so it was good inspiration too.

I prefer silence or relaxing music when scrapbooking. I am ADD, and distractions make it hard for me to be productive. Pandora New Age music works well for me.

I prefer to scrap in silence or with general noise, but can do it with soft music. I couldn’t watch a movie while scrapping.

Silence, except for talking to myself!

I either scrap in silence or have a podcast playing. I have occasionally put on longer scrapping youtube videos but only if I'm not really interested in seeing the process just more interested in hearing talk about paper and embellishments.

I'm in silence but that's cause I never used to be able to get the internet in my conservatory. OH changed something and I can now but I still scrap in silence! If I did have TV out there I'd have to watch something like Friends that I've seen a million times though, same as all you girls, otherwise I'd just sit there goggling at the screen and not cutting any paper!

I either listen to podcasts or play YouTube scrapbooking videos. Sometimes I will play a long room tour and other times it’s haul videos, unboxing of kit clubs stuff or long process videos.

I need absolute silence. But I’m the rare individual who always prefers silence. I can’t stand to ever watch tv or movies. I only occasionally listen to music in the car while driving. I even find podcasts disrupting. I know this is very strange.

Generally silence, but I rarely scrap at home. I do make alterations to pages at home and DH usually has the TV on.

Silence! I get nothing done with music or TV.

I like listening to an audiobook of a book I already read and know well.
Outlander or Harry Potter is good.

Sometimes I have music playing in the background and sometimes I’m in complete silence. When I used to scrap at the dining room table, the tv was always on and the entire family was close by, but now that the kids are grown and I have my own room, it’s usually pretty quiet.

I have to have something on, usually Netflix/Hulu/Prime helps me focus

It's a mixed bag for me. If the kids/DH are home the tv is usually on. I scrap in the dining room and can hear the tv but not see it. The tv just turns into background noise for me. If I'm by myself I will plan the page in silence, put it together with music on and then write the journaling in silence.

I usually watch TV, and like others mentioned above, something easy to follow or have seen before. Sometimes I'll listen to a podcast. Right now, it's Big Brother season so I'll let the feeds run in the background while I scrap.

I'm a huge fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (hence my user name) and I love to listen to those old shows when I scrap because they're very familiar and I've listened to them while I scrap for years. I also have a couple podcasts I catch up on from time to time. Can't be anything that requires close attention; even audiobooks are hard to follow when I scrap.

It depends on what I'm doing. Planning pages; silence. Everything else; watch/half listen to something I've seen a dozen times. I'm not good at multi tasking, so it's not a big deal if I zone out of my listening when I'm concentrating on a page.
Then there are times when I love silence; that usually wins.

Most of the time silence, but sometimes Pandora.
