Multitasking during RPs

[Faetal Attraction]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone else here multitasks while RPing (i.e. reading or replying)?

Personally, I do. I find it helps me to focus (it seems counterproductive, I know, but it works for me) and can put me in the state of mind I am looking to achieve when crafting a reply. I will usually do one of two things:
1) Listen to music
2) Have a show playing in the background for the white noise.


If you also multitask, what do you do?

A complicated, deeply researched post might require like, absolute silence

I generally have music on. I can also check on my FB in between paragraphs.

Normally, I listen to music. I'll have my earbuds in and Iheart radio playing.

nine times out of ten, i'm listening to something other than my soul wailing in despair. music usually takes the cake.

Depends how intense the scene... but generally, yes.

I find it hard to do something like listening to music while working on a post, I admit.

I need music to focus, personally. I can't focus ic TV is on though.

Music! I can't write without music. <3

Seems I'm the only person who pressed No. I do not multitask. I write where it's quiet and uneventful as it helps me focus. When I'm in the zone, I can easily throw out a 1000 word post in like 9 minutes on a good day. Sometimes multiple, back to back, as long as I'm undisturbed.

Music, occasional message to check. My life is one with many loops...go figure my writing process is similar.

Sometimes I listen to music. But other times I find music distracts me and I need silence to focus.

I almost always listen to music. It helps me to focus my mind and keeps the ringing in my ears under control.

I sometimes listen to music, sometimes watch people streaming on Twitch, sometimes play a game, all while posting.
