The mindset we have when immersing is so important, one of my friends said they can't watch TV for too long otherwise they get too tired, the ability to accept noise, not focus on every word you don't understand and enjoy the TV show is a micro-skill very worth developing

Developing this skill will allow you to immerse more, cover more ground, and ultimately learn faster in the long run

On the opposite side, immersing before knowing much of the language first means that it all becomes noise and I don't learn any of the language. That has been my experience, anyway.

I think it's all about having the right mindset, if you try to notice but at the same time don't put any pressure on for what you don't understand, and see if you can enjoy and follow whats going on I found it useful. In the beginning I normally have subs in my target language

I think people underestimate that even apart from that, getting past the tired phase is also a skill. It's tiring because you're trying to understand it, and that's not a bad thing. At the start I would even fall asleep a few times, and require snacking between meals.

I really struggle doing this! My brain tries to pick apart everything.

Yeah, no, that bores me to tears and then my mind wanders. I have to be actively engaged, or don’t bother. We all learn differently.

I include 5-10 minutes a day of incomprehensible input for this reason. I just watch a video in my languages and not care if I only understand every 5th word.
