When I'm reading (or listening to audio books) I'm processing and reflecting on the content. If the book isn't engaging enough to demand my full attention then it's probably not worth reading.
Multi-tasking is a fallacy. It's not possible to do anything that requires a reasonable amount of concentration with mindfulness and quality if you're also trying to do something else at the same time. To try multi-task is to short change yourself of truly deep and engaging experiences.
- gms7777 9y agoThat's true, though for myself I find that in order to concentrate on something mentally engaging I need to be physically occupied. So walking, simple chores, some types of exercise, knitting, mindlessly guitar practice. It's when I don't have something mindless to do with my hands that my mind actually ends up wandering.
