Answer
The effect of online video infotainment on audience attention has been studied by researchers. Here are the key findings:
- Highly positive and negative emotions significantly impact the audience's attention in infotainment1. Content storytelling, star characters, soft news themes, and sensational headlines have a significant positive effect on audience attention1.
- Time fragmentation on online video platforms has both positive and negative impacts on audience attention. The diversification of presentation methods, the number of labels, and authoritative media have significant positive effects, whereas the number of topics has a significant negative impact1.
- Frequent consumption of short-form videos (under 2 minutes) is positively correlated with poorer sustained attention performance in behavioral tasks, such as higher commission errors and response time variability on the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART)2.
- Increasing the duration of daily video consumption, whether short-form or long-form (over 2 minutes), tends to degrade self-reported sustained attention, while decreasing video consumption improves it2. However, these effects were only observed in self-report metrics, not in task-based sustained attention performance2.

- Hey guys it's Shar from wood chop Diaries and in this video I'm going to show you how I built a simple vanity for my parents half bathro as you can see. I painted this vanity blue which is not quite my usual style. But Mom saw my recent laundry room cabinets and she really liked the color so we're doing that again. Here this was a really fun and simple build and I'm excited to share it with you so if you're ready to dive in and get building. Let's go. This is actually the first of four bathroom vanity projects that I'll be building and sharing over the next couple of months. So if this one's not for you I'll have more designs and styles coming soon but of the four.Read More
- This is the simplest and least expensive option I started with building the legs by gluing up 2x4s. This entire project was built using inexpensive construction. Lumber pre-primed Pine boards and Birch plow wood. I've included the full tools and materials list in the printable plans and below in the video description so that you can see what all is needed to complete the build I glue up 2x4s to make furniture legs. Pretty often and people often ask why I don't just use a 4x4 and you certainly can if you'd like to but where I live you can't find untreated 4x4s off the shelf you have to special order them. They're pretty expensive and usually they look like garbage. So I usually prefer to just glue up 2x4s. Then Square Off. The edges on the table saw to give me a nice clean 3in by 3in post for the legs. I trim these legs down to about 34 in long and use some wood filler to fill and smooth out the knots in any small gaps in the seams. These are obviously not perfect they're made from 2x4s. So I just kind of tried to smooth out the best that I could next. I started cutting down the plow wood for the two side panels.Read More
- Then I trim some 1x3s and 1X tws to make the vanity. Frame I use 1x3s for the framing at the top and around the drawers. But I used 1 by tws at the bottom for the Shelf. Now just a note I checked the existing Plumbing where this was going and the bottom of the P trap was about 12 in from the floor. So I built the top section of this vanity so that it comes down 12 in from the bottom of the legs. That way it covers the plumbing completely but it leaves as much room as possible below for the open shelf. So altogether I needed four legs two side panels four 1x3s and four pieces of 1x. Two two long pieces for the front and back and two short pieces for the sides. After sanding I drilled pocket holes into the ends of the 1x3s and the plow wood side panels for the 1x2's standard. Siiz pocket. Holes work totally fine but I like to use the Craig micro jig because it drills 30% smaller holes so it's just less likely to split on these narrow boards. Once all the pocket holes were drilled. I assembled the frame using pocket hole screws. I installed the plywood panels 3/4 in inset From the Inside Edge of the legs and I installed the 1X tws 1 and 1/2 in Up From The Bottom. The back 1x3s were installed flush to the back Ed of the legs but I inset the front 1 by 3es about 3/4 of an inch. This just added some extra Dimension to the design by the way I know. This looks like a Frankenstein Project with all the different colored pieces. I knew that I was going to be painting this so I tried to use as many scraps as I could so some of these scraps had already been painted. Once the main vanity frame was assembled. I set it down to make sure everything looked okay. Now I know my shop floor is unlevel but I was a bit concerned at the amount that this Frame was rocking. Then I realized that I had just set it down on a rock crisis averted. Next I added another 1x3 turn sideways to separate the top and the bottom drawer.Read More
- I actually should have added this earlier but to be honest I just completely forgot. Now the top drawer is fake. So it's really just a drawer front. But I did need something behind it to secure it too. So I took some scrap platwood blocks and trim them to run between the drawer divider and the top 1x3 I drill pocket holes into the bottom end of these pieces then screw these in place. Now this part is totally optional but I wanted the drawer front to be inset about a/4 of an inch. So I also cut some scrap Quin plow wood to go between these pieces and the top 1x3. Then I made sure that the bottom was 1in inset before securing with pocket hole screws. The fake drawer front can now attach to these pieces but we'll do that in just a minute next up was installing the drawer slides for the actual drawer. Since I installed the side panels 3/4 in From the Inside Edge of the legs I needed to First add some 3/4 in plywood spacer blocks to be able to mount the slides to I glued and screwed. These pie pieces in place then screwed the drawer slides onto them so that they were 1in inset from the bottom 1x3 framing. Piece I have a full video on installing drawer slides that I will link in the video description for more information. On that. Once the slides were installed it was time to actually build the drawer.Read More
- Drawers and bathroom vanities can be a little tricky because you have to deal with the plumbing. It's important to look at and measure your plumbing locations or at least be prepared to move them if you're into that so that you know what you're dealing with and how to work around them. In this case the existing Plumbing had been used for a pedestal style sink previously so thankfully. Everything was pretty centered and close together. So I was able to build a drawer box to fit around it. I assembled this u-shaped drawer box using scrap 3/4 in plywood. I needed the opening on the backside to be about 11 in wide to clear the plumbing and I made it about 5 in deep at the front to make sure that I had enough room to clear the sink drain in hindsight. I could have made it a little deeper and still had room for the drain. But I played it pretty safe here because I didn't want to take it apart and have to build it again. Normally I cut Doos to install the drawer bottom but in this case with the weird shape I just assembled it with pocket. Holes then traced out a quarin plywood bottom to fit that shape. I glued and stapled this bottom panel in place. Then I screwed the drawer slides onto the sides of the drawer box and slid it into the vanity. Now I could move on to attaching the drawer fronts. These drawer fronts were just 3/4 in plywood panels that I cut to fit these openings. They're a/4 in smaller than the openings in both height and width so that they'll have an eighth of an inch Gap around all sides. I screwed the fake drawer front in place through the block that I added earlier. Then I attach the real drawer front using screws through the front of the drawer boox. Next I added some simple trim to dress this cabinet up a little bit for some reason.Read More
- Lately I'm just really into lattice trim. So I added some lattice trim on the front 1x3s. Then I trimmed both sides with a 1x3 at the top and a 1x3. At the bottom now the last part was adding. The Shelf. Mom wanted an open shelf here made using slats not a solid panel so I cut pre-primed 1x4 boards to layout here along the 1X two braces. I originally hadn't planned to notch out the two end pieces to wrap around the legs. But after laying them out. I thought it would look better. So I used the jigsaw to notch the corners of the left and right boards until they fit around the legs. I didn't attach these pieces yet because I thought it would be much easier to paint them first. So after everything was fitted puttied and sanded I started painting. I primed everything that wasn't already primed then I applied a couple coats of paint. This color is Sheron Williams stardew and it's the same color that I used on my recent laundry room cabinets. After the paint had dried. I spaced out the Shelf slats and nailed them in place. Now I did have to putty over the nail holes and touch up a little paint here. But I still think that that was much easier than trying to paint in between all of them if they were already attached. Then I added the drawer PES to finish this up I'm sorry about the footage being so blurry.Read More
- Here. I did not realize that until after I started editing but because the drawer is so shallow on the bottom I had to use a 90° driver attachment to drive the screws kind of a pain but it worked and with that this vanity is complete. This is obviously not my parents powder room but they're not quite ready for this yet. So I'm just going to Stage. It here against this wall in my shop when we get it into their powder room. We'll secure it to the wall studs through this top support and then add the granite countertop as far as tops. There are a ton of like pre-made countertops that you can buy from The Big Box store. You can check your local Granite people and a lot of times they have scraps that they can cut you a small vanity top from it's not super expensive. That's what I did in this case so. I'm going to set that top on here. So I can show you what it's going to look like. But I'm I'm not going to attach it yet when we do get around to attaching it. We're just going to use some construction adhesive. That's designed to be used with granite and stone to just like put a bead around the top and set the the top in place.Read More
