I can rarely focus on just one thing at a time; if I try, catchy music or super distracting thoughts will pop into my head and keep me from actually paying attention to what people are saying.

Strangely, it's easier for me to focus on someone (like if someone is talking) if I'm * not * looking at him or her at all. I suppose I'm stimulated by audio, and video is just distracting.

@realcaseyrollins Currently working on an HTML table. Randomly thought of a fact. Googled. Now I'm on Mastodon writing this toot. Gah.

@wabbster Oh wow! This used to happen to me before I started listening to music, radio, or podcasts while coding.

@realcaseyrollins Yes. EDM helps for me while coding or doing any repetitive tasks.
