I’ve read a lot of people talk about doing this, and I kinda follow, but also: almost any time I’ve tried it ends up becoming background noise and I follow almost none of it. Are those of you that do this doing simpler tasks as you listen?

    Speaking of focus, would you happen to know of any papers or texts involved in attempting to study focus? Your mention of it got me thinking about that and realizing I’m not sure how much we grasp about focus as a cognitive process.

      Gee, not of the top of my head. But I remember reading that over a year ago. It was an eye opener for me. Shouldn’t be too hard to find, I don’t think, as long as you can filter out the CompSci articles of multitasking.

      I feel like there were a number of studies on air traffic controllers and pilots involving task switching/multitasking/focus. May be a place to start looking at least. I don’t have any links to share atm though.
