Yup. The key is to find combinations of activities that don't conflict with each other.

I also can work and breathe at the same time (neat trick). /s

Right. I love to listen to music while coding, but I couldn't listen to a podcast. I've tried, but I can't write words and listen to words at the same time. But music is no problem.

I can only listen to instrumental music, anything with lyrics kills my productivity.
