Listening

Since relocating my system to a dedicated room the only thing I do when music is playing is to listen.  It wasn't always that way, and sometimes I wish it was like it was before.  

My setup is in a dedicated listening room (with a nook dedicated to work desk).  I have music on all day pretty much everyday as soon as I am up.  When I’m done working or it’s the weekend it’s in the chair in the sweet spot for critical listening, reading or World Wide Web stuff on my phone.

Always in the sweet spot but I can't just listen I am always reading something.

Just listen to music. I can't stand reading when music is on. I have to read in silence. I can't stand doing housework with music on either! I can listen to NPR though!

I most definitely cannot read and listen at the same time.  Either demands enough of my concentration that it cancels the other out.

Back when I had my system in the living room, I used to do other things (like get ready to go to the gym or barbecue) and rock out.
