hmm, while I’m doing menial/mindless tasks i really like educational podcasts and audiobooks. i can pay attention just fine while doing yard work or driving to work. i find music doesn’t occupy my mind enough while doing things like that.
I will totally listen to episodes of many of Simon Whistler’s channels at work and not care if I remember the details of some random serial killer’s history!
Music has no new information though, that’s just for enjoyment. Some of us don’t have enough time in a day to do everything we want to do so you gotta hack it lol
Reading requires attention. YouTube videos you can put on in the background during work or other activities.
I can’t imagine why I’d want to put on an informational video and not pay attention.
I listen to music at work.

Totally agree, if I’m hoping to retain anything.
