I now have a lot of unused Audible credits because of the recent lockdown here which is lifting on Friday!
I always describe multitasking this way as needing two different stimuli. I need something to engage my brain, and something to engage my body. I went though a phase of learning a Rubik's Cube while watching movies. That helped me focus greatly while it lasted.
I try to slot everything I can into one of those two categories. Things that take little thought, and things that require little physical action. Then I can mix and match them.
