All the time. I sometimes read my phone, sometimes play games, often I’m doing chores (cooking, cleaning etc). Pretty much the only time I watch something 100% is if I go to the cinema, but if I’m at home I can’t resist the distractions.
It also influences what I watch. I definitely prefer shows and films that don’t require constant attention, so subtitles or minimal dialogue are not ideal. If it’s a film that I really want to try and engage with as much as possible, I watch it first thing in the morning, as I’m still waking up. When my brain is still sluggish, just drinking a pot of coffee is enough to keep me busy while I watch. (and yeah, I’ve got adhd…)
