Why does nobody talk about silent cleaning being faster?

I gave it a shot with no music or TV. Got done so much quicker.

You mentioning silent cleaning is totally on point! I had the exact same thing happen when I turned everything off last weekend. My mind just stops wandering and I power through the chores. It feels like the job gets my full attention instead of sharing it with background noise. I finished in half the time and it was almost peaceful. Seriously, why isn't this common knowledge? It's a total game changer for getting stuff done fast.

So @the_joseph, does that silent focus work for annoying chores too, or just easy ones?

Honestly I used to think you had to have music or a podcast on for boring stuff like dishes. But after seeing what the_xena said I tried it with laundry last night. Tbh it was way less annoying when I wasn't trying to listen to something over the noise of the machine. My brain just settled into the folding and it was done before I knew it. Ngl I'm a total convert now, the quiet just makes the chore feel different.
