Splitting your attention

By contributor Ashley DiFranza

Ever find yourself staring at a movie screen and not enjoying a second of it because you’re thinking about all the unfinished work you’ve got to do? Listentoamovie.com is the perfect combination of watching a movie and being able to work on something else freely.

Just choose your favorite movie or TV show and let it play in the background as you type up that report or check for bugs! An extra upside to this site is that it doesn’t tempt you to look at the screen thus keeping you from actually doing work, because there is no screen to watch! And you can pause, rewind and fast forward as you wish with an automated control screen that pops up while listening to the movie.

But there’s more! Let’s say you’re deep into Superman Returns on your computer as you write out some data for the office, when suddenly your boss walks into your cube to speak with you. Just press the automated ‘STEALTH’ button on the control panel for the site and it instantly turns into an unmarked spread sheet! Now your boss will be proud of your extra initiative and won’t ever suspect that your mind is really wrapped up in Clark Kent and Lois Lane’s action-packed adventures.
