My version of the “I can’t believe other people’s brains work like this” realization is that other people can listen to a podcast or someone talking while doing something else and actually retain information. I don’t even hear it.

But having white noise (or industrial music) on is somehow like magic for focus.

Lol. I listened to you on Joe Rogan as I was editing a manuscript.

I can if it's rote, like folding laundry or jogging. Otherwise, no.

For me it depends what I'm doing. If it's robotic like cleaning or whatever it's fine, but if I have to think about anything it just becomes background noise. The best podcasts get paused for longer than their running time while you consider the implications of what was said.

I can do this only if the concurrent activity does not involve words (e.g., drawing, washing dishes, games like Tetris). As soon as I have to think in words for the concurrent task, the podcast (or audiobook) gets tuned out.

I have no idea how they manage. I can walk and listen but it has to be just me or me and my dog. If there’s too many other people/distractions I lose focus completely and don’t retain anything.
