    Nope. I watch movies /TV Shows with focus. If I need to do something (example attend a phone call), I will pause the movie.

    I can’t do parallel work while watching.

      I read everything I watch with subtitles. If it’s on in the background, I am not paying attention at all. Music is background sound, not tv. The only time I let something roll while I’m not paying attention, is when it’s something I’ve already seen multiple times and am just comfort seeking.

      Same. I was gifted a book called the “myth of multitasking”… I feel like I don’t need to read it to get the gist.
