    For me that’s been audiobooks or YouTube. It keeps one part of the brain distracted so the other part isn’t sabotaged anymore and is now free to do the work.

        not much to it. listen to some interesting videos or books while you do other stuff (esp manual stuff) and you will be able to focus easier on both.

        i find that it doesnt always work, but it works well when it does.

        Try the podcast This American Life while you’re doing something that doesn’t take your full attention. Great for exercise, household chores, and driving.

        AntennaPod is a great podcast app for Android. I think it’s open source?
