I guess I'm lucky. It is quite smooth, but sure better to not pull out my phone.
Without my phone I'm paying even less attention. I need to play a game or something.
Same thing when reading a book. I have to listen to music (without lyrics) to keep my brain focussed
I gave up on watching movies and TV because of this. What's the point when it becomes a chore after the first 2 minutes to keep watching lol, and I just forget what happened by the next day anyway.
I can relate to this. It's more like "listening to movies and series" for me. My eyes are on my phone, playing a mini game or looking at memes
I’m okay with movies and tv shows. But it takes me hours to listen to a 30 minute podcast unless I’m doing absolutely nothing else BUT listening to that podcast
Often I'm fascinated how different ADHD can be. I'm the exact opposite: I need to do things to be able to listen to a podcast. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to focus more than a minute.
Doesn't matter which things I'm doing as long I don't have to read or write. Cleaning, riding a bike, play a game.
I can only listen to podcasts while doing something else. Just the idea of sitting and listening is uncomfortable
You've got ADHD?
how did you find out?
Very common sign. I also did not notice communtname before commenting.
Which is a common sign, too. Hehe
Movies are invariably phone or swich time, at least at home. The spectacle of the theater helps a lot for me tho. Going out and making a whole thing of it, in an environment where distractions are forbidden, makes it a lot easier to focus.
