I’m not interested in movies/tv shows that you can follow without paying attention, so no.

Most TV and cinema I try to appreciate and analyse as a medium. Its a visual medium and constantly changing.

Needs attention for analysis.

Now i do sometimes watch some braindead TV or movies too although you can always take away something from them too, they require a lil less attention.

• So 90% of the time no distractions.
• 10% of the time I might use my phone, or if I’m watching smth on my phone walk to my kitchen or talk to someone I’m with etc.

Nope. I watch movies /TV Shows with focus. If I need to do something (example attend a phone call), I will pause the movie.

I can’t do parallel work while watching.

You probably have ADHD, OP

I play a game on an old android tablet. Usually Sudoku or Fruitty Game.

If I want to watch something, I’m going to sit down and only watch the thing.

Jork it.

Sometimes something mindless like folding laundry.

I knit, especially easier designs that don’t require much attention.

Almost always. As others have said its sorta the opposite. I throw things on in the background while doing other stuff. When I have the rare thing of something I really want to watch which like most of the time involves me and my wife watching together. Then its just the show. Most of the time the show or movie we really want to see ends in disappointment (the dog in superman to us was the only good thing and fantastic four was rather disappointing outside of some special effects)

I play sudoku, get distracted, rewind. Keeps me busy.

Smoke weed and drink beer.

No.

But if you ask instead, Do you watch movies/tv shows while doing something else? Then answer is yes, all the time. Mostly during chores like cleaning dishes or ironing but sometimes also doing puzzles, origami or whatever.

There are some shows my wife picks that don’t require full attention to get something from. Sometimes I do chess puzzles or play a 5 min game while they get to the point.

The more predictable of those kinds of shows you can literally just skip like 3/4 of the episode cough Dr pimple Popper cough.

Sometimes I build chain mail while watching.
