Lucky Star and Hidamari Sketch are sort of like animated podcasts in a way, both come highly recommended. None of these shows are mediocre in the slightest, not these two nor any of the ones you mentioned, so let's not call them that.
Alternatively, you could get some *actually* boring slice of life to keep the noise up. I've heard Glasslip is pretty boring.
sorry, mediocre is a very bad way of saying it, haha. i meant anime that don't change much and you aren't too captivated to watch it. it just purely exists to be background noise
lucky star looks like it would be a good one, i'll also look into hidamari sketch, thanks!
glasslip's description looked pretty interesting, what's so bad about it?
Oh, you thought this was supposed to be timey wimey fun with precognition time loop anime? Too bad, it’s about the most annoying teens having tedious relationship drama.
Good SoL:

Hi Baby-Penewine, it seems like you might be looking for new anime to watch!
The users of this subreddit came up with [a chart of anime recommendations for newcomers and veterans](https://i.redd.it/0w1v880jtq661.png) and [an awesome longer flowchart](https://i.redd.it/vdzlkodz19c71.png). Maybe you can find something there that you'll like \^.\^

D4DJ. Most episodes have a performance at the end, which can serve as a little distraction to look forward to. I think it will feel worthwhile, while not being the kind of thing to demand your attention away from the other task.
Not sure if you're doing dubs, but if you are then hearing Maho's english in the dub version might be fun.
It would kind of be sacrilege to use Hidamari Sketch for this, it's one of my top favorite shows visually. The first season is kind of rough, but my favorite overall.

Idk what specifically is bad about Glasslip (haven't seen it myself), I've just seen people shitting on it for being boring as fuck for years.

Aria the Animation It's just Venice (in space) and choro (Brazilian music)
sounds great, i love how it's a full franchise too so it can keep me for a while!
Flying Witch has that peaceful feeling.
