    I can’t imagine why I’d want to put on an informational video and not pay attention.

    I listen to music at work.

      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.

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

      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
