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?

    It depends on what I’m doing. Driving someplace I’ve been to (ie. work, home, store), mowing the lawn, or some other mundane task, I retain it all. Well, as much as I would anyway. I had a lot of fun in high school at the cost of short term memory. If I’m doing something like estimates, or driving someplace new, or even here, now, I had to pause a book to answer this, its water through a sieve.
