I feel that. Messing with stuff can actually help me focus sometimes but usually im just bored lol.
My coworkers thought I wasn't listening to them at first and were surprised when I was able to repeat everything they said word for word, despite the fact that I was solving a Rubik's Cube. They seemed pretty amazed when I was the one talking about complex subjects while still solving the Cube. I've always been able to split my attention like that. When I was younger I used to be able to hold a verbal conversation while typing a letter and not mess up either of them. Unfortunately 20 years of barely, hops, and bong resin affected that skill.
Hey at least you could do it. Ive been barely able to hold a conversation with people, let alone do two things at once like that. Half the time i had to cobble together what the other person said from context clues because my mind started wandering while they were talking.
That said, when the hyper focus really kicks in, im a god damn machine. But i dont control when it happens and i forget to eat and drink so its a shitty super power at best lol.
