What do you do while playing poker?

Lately listening some of audiobooks. It's difficult to watch something else when playing few tables and also to read, so I listening.
 
Listening to music most of the time, or just talking (to my self) while analyzing the spots.
 
I really have no choice when playing on-line, Playing on my laptop I have tried listening to Music but find it takes my attention away from the game, and as I like to play from the comfort of my armchair, my Wife usually has the TV on some murder mystery series.
So I have to put up with that in the background, although anything is better than the constant click, clack, of chips being shuffled at a live event.
 
I have one of those pocket aces fidget clicker thingies. I alternate between that and shuffling my chips... i keep chips at my desk. I also started listening to ASMR to keep me calm and relaxed while playing.

For me I can't focus on playing poker without noise around me. I have to be watching something on TV or a series on Netflix while I am playing. If i'm not watching TV then I have to be listening to music. I am pretty sure the majority of people are completely opposite from me, but what do you guys do?

I need all the same things.🙂
 
Just music, I try not to get distracted by anything else. I don't even use the cell phone.

Just gambling, as I tend to play at multiple tables, it becomes difficult to do anything else
 
I try to concentrate as much as possible on the game so that I try not to be distracted by anything else.
 
I listen to music so as not to sit in silence)) I can sort through the chips from the set, as if I'm sitting at a table and not a laptop)))
 
After the PS has taken all the freerolls, I play spins, during which I just focus on the game. But if I already win tickets for satellites, then depending on the number of chips, I can either focus on the game, or watch YouTube/series at the same time and wait for good cards.
 
I beat the bar. I'm just kidding.sometimes I eat and drink, but most of the time I just focus on poker.
 
I never listen to music while playing, it distracts me. In general, the best atmosphere for me is silence.
 
Poker is such a thing that we need to turn off the person in ourselves as much as possible. Our brain is completely unsuited to poker and behaves extremely stupidly in terms of poker. Most positive actions contradict our intuition and logic.Almost everything life has taught you makes you naturally unsuited for poker.I like to play in silence.
