    Nothing.
    I can only focus on 1 thing at a time and there’s already 20 of them at once at any time in my head.

    But I can listen to music. Although it depends on what it is. But not to worry, I can just listen to a single song on loop for hours non-stop.

    I like watching magicians do magic tricks while I drive, and trying to spot the technique.

    I’m just kidding don’t do that

    Might not be up your alley, but there’s a dude called “Just Background Noise” who does various Morrowind challenge runs. It’s neat stuff, but his name is quite accurate. Makes for some great background listening.

    Northernlion/The Library of Letourneau, he plays videogames and just kinda does a stream of consciousness thing that often has nothing to do with the game itself. It’s entertaining and he has a nice voice.

      It’s a fantastic podcast! But I feel like it’s kinda too good to have it in the background

    Do you like silly stuff? I usually put on the YouTube channel Drawfee. A group of artists take ridiculous prompts and draw them on the fly, and the idea usually mutates mid-drawing based on their conversations.

    Might not be great as you have to be able to look up from what you’re doing to see the drawings. I’m more of a multitasker so it works for me.

    Lately I’ve been going through my favorite artists and listening to their music in chronological order.

    I hate the “pick something to listen to” phase of music listening, full albums let’s me control what im listening to while not needing me to maintain it.

    Trackmania gameplay. It’s an arcade racing game, purely skill based, no story to follow. Players will play the same track multiple times until they get a good time, that way you don’t miss anything important if you look away for a while. Probably not gonna work for you if you’re not into the game though.

      trackmania has that in common with basically all speedrunning streams/content. super nice to have in the background since it can be repetitive and you can pay attention if they get a good run going :)

      and there are people who speedrun probably every game you’ve ever enjoyed, so there is plenty of options!

      Yes! TrackMania footage is so satisfying. Wirtual’s documentaries on the game are also great

    LabPadre’s 24/7 stream of SpaceX in Boca Chica. Sometimes watching concrete dry or debris removal is just what I need to take a step back.

      +1 for Josh, particularly the “was it good?” Series where he replays ancient titles start-to-finish while giving his thoughts about the game design.

      Love his stuff a bunch. I could listen to his voice all day. Great guy. :) btw, “3rd monitor, stay humble”
