Social media during raids destroys my concentration. I’ll read something and get emotional in one way or another and think about that instead of keeping my head in the game. That’s fine sometimes, but during progression raids it is deeply distracting and makes me forget things like countdowns and cooldowns. So here are things I’ve been trying to do to keep myself from checking Twitter between pulls.
- Summon a random pet and think about how great that pet is.
- Summon Pepe.
- Change my title.
- Change my transmog if I’m in a mountable zone.
- Think about what I should change your transmog to if I’m not in a mountable zone.
- Use a toy.
- Look at warcraft logs (wow little miss productive raider aren’t we).
- Admire everyone else’s transmog.
- /dance or /silly
- Play some music on random and think about the song that pops up.
- Think about what I’m really doing here. I could be asleep on the couch right now.
- Pet a cat.
