I could but there’s something about having the sound come from a different source than where my game is from that helps me concentrate on both. Like I could legit listen to an audiobook and have someone talk to me and it’s fine. But if two people are talking in the same room and one of them is talking to me, my brain jumps back and forth and short circuits.

I used to listen to music and then podcasts. But now I find audiobooks to be the best way to minimize distractions. I also listen while I’m cleaning or doing literally anything that I need to minimize distractions. If I need to concentrate hard on something and the book is becoming the distraction, I turn it off. Otherwise, I’ve got sound in my ears.

My ADHD friends hard core plan and make lists. I just distract my brain so I don’t get distracted. If that makes any sense. 😂

I do the same and I’m a 40 year old woman. I listen to audiobooks while I virtually kill shit. It’s a nice way to shake off my work day.

I also listen to an audiobook on my headphones literally all day while working. Helps my ADHD brain to not get distracted as much.
