For podcast/audiobook listeners that multitask, do you follow all of what's being discussed/said as you listen & do other stuff? (lemm.ee)

I've read a lot of people talk about doing this, and I kinda follow, but also: almost any time I've tried it ends up becoming background noise and I follow almost none of it. Are those of you that do this doing simpler tasks as you listen?

I can listen while driving and follow along for 99%. It helps me stay calm and not aggressive. If I do household chores I'm fine, but anything else makes me miss more than 70% of the storyline/information. So simple tasks are fine, but when I need to think I'm gone.

Glad I'm not alone on this...Although I think the problem for me is I also take the time doing those simple tasks to think even more which is part of what inspired this question.
