Oddly enough, however, it’s a rare day when you hear people say “I learn so much better when my brain is trying to do two things at once.” Whether you are reading or listening, you’re also being distracted by the option your brain is not trying to pay attention to. Why don’t we hear that? Because it’s not true. Think about it.
