Yes, I find it hard to multitask anything now that I'm older.

If I want to listen to something, I don't want to be doing other stuff, or at least I'd want the other stuff to be completely mechanical so that it wouldn't take my thoughts off whatever I'm listening to.

And it goes the other way too; if and when I'm working gathering information or writing something on the computer, the last thing I need is anyone to come talk to me.
It completely throws off my concentration and at worst makes me lose my cool.

At least the photo edits are sort of mechanical work, since I've learned my trait to the point I can do it pretty much without thinking, so that I can converse, or listen to music/audiobooks while doing it.

I'd like to make some music too, but it seems that I need to concentrate on one thing at a time and time is more like a luxury these days.
