Discussion on: TV while coding? Distraction or Motivation?

Something I've tried a handful of times instead of music or podcasts is to stream tv or Netflix in a hidden tab, because it's background noise but not something I can invest in or be emotional about, I'm not discovering a new artist or jamming about. With the tab hidden, pinned or in another window my environment is free from distraction. I just have to stay focused on my narrative while something else parallel to me is ocurring, I think like a podcast it helps me feel a bit less lonely and more attentive to my own situation so I'm less likely to procastinate..
