I turn on my radio ...
I've tried the radio and TV but get bored or distracted too easily.
So I bought an MP3 player and download the songs I want to hear. I vary the "tempo" of the music. Start with something sort of slow to warm up. Then mix the music for fast rides, sprints, recovery, etc. And there are
no commercials.
It takes some getting used to riding in the garage, basement, LR, BR, wherever. I've finally worked up to 1 hour but most nights I do 30-45 minutes. Not a lot but it's better than 0 minutes.
Just do what works for you - music, TV, games, cycling videos, ...
