Playing videogames, working, solving a puzzle?
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.
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.
I usually sit.
If a show isn’t worth paying my full (visusl) attention to, it’s not worth watching at all.
I’m not interested in movies/tv shows that you can follow without paying attention, so no.
If I want to watch something, I’m going to sit down and only watch the thing.
Almost always. As others have said its sorta the opposite. I throw things on in the background while doing other stuff. When I have the rare thing of something I really want to watch which like most of the time involves me and my wife watching together. Then its just the show. Most of the time the show or movie we really want to see ends in disappointment (the dog in superman to us was the only good thing and fantastic four was rather disappointing outside of some special effects)
yeah really wanted fantastic four cgi
Other than eat, no. I never got into short form media so I still have a relatively normal attention span. There’s nothing interesting on my phone anyway.
I play sudoku, get distracted, rewind. Keeps me busy.
No. If I lose focus or get distracted, it means whatever I’m watching isn’t worth it, and I’ll switch to something else.
Yep. I have Bluetooth headphones so I can wander the house freely. Tidying up, cooking, hobby projects here and there, picking out the dead leaves and buds on houseplants.
Some TV shows warrant full attention, but some I just listen to half of it. Some I rewatch as a comfort.
I try not to do that.
But sometimes the scene is really dry or too cringe for me.
I’ll catch myself texting people or browsing image galleries.
Smoke weed and drink beer.
Sometimes I build chain mail while watching.
I assume butted chain, not riveted?
That is correct
Hopefully cosmetic or for boffers?
Cosplay or jewellery usually. This is what I’m working on at the moment:
