Multi-tasking: What else do you do while reading?

[sarahmarlowe]

I often read while eating lunch, but I also find myself reading while watching television or while sitting in meetings. What about you?

I will sometimes have music or TV play in the background while reading. Although it makes things difficult I can't decide what I want to pay more attention to.

While reading, I mostly try not to be distracted by whatever is going on around me...that's as far as I can go, since I'm a really bad multi-tasker. :/

I train the bird while i’m reading! By keeping one hand in his cage for him to hop onto, and occasionally turning to him and reading out loud so he can get used to my voice and pick up words.

Same. The closest I can get to multi-tasking is drinking a coffee. But even then it's sketchy, because I want to keep my eyes on what I'm reading. If a scene is tense, smoking. I never have problems patting my pets, though. This is the exhausted list of my multi-tasking achievements.

I eat while reading at times, but only when it is an ebook. I don't ever want to spill on a real book. It doesn't wipe off so well.

If the project is simple enough, I like to knit while reading. Double hobby fun time!

Try to stay awake at times.

I absolutely can not do anything else while reading (to a rather pathetic point), if I'm someone so much as says hi to me, it takes me a minute to figure out how to read again , I honestly admire anyone who can multitask while reading

If it's a light read, I like to read during commercials for shows and what not, but for heavier reads I just listen to music in the background. I'm almost always snacking while reading though, which definitely turns into a problem in more ways than one.

I find myself more and more cooking while reading. It has lead to some cookies being darker than other batches. Of course, once I cook , I have to eat and read, leading to a finger print of whatever food I am having.
