Reading requires attention. YouTube videos you can put on in the background during work or other activities.

I can't imagine why I'd want to put on an informational video and not pay attention.

I listen to music at work.

depends on the job: but I think audiobooks and podcasts are generally better for jobs where you don't need your full attention on the job.

hmm, while I'm doing menial/mindless tasks i really like educational podcasts and audiobooks. i can pay attention just fine while doing yard work or driving to work. i find music doesn't occupy my mind enough while doing things like that.

Totally agree, if I'm hoping to retain anything.

I will totally listen to episodes of many of Simon Whistler's channels at work and not care if I remember the details of some random serial killer's history!

Nevermind. I think I misunderstood the comment I was responding to.

Music has no new information though, that's just for enjoyment. Some of us don't have enough time in a day to do everything we want to do so you gotta hack it lol
