I have always been an intent listener unless I am working. Little or no talking. No reading. Just listening. IMO Vinyl makes you listen moreso than digital. If nothing else you'll have to flip the album. Not trying to put down digital. It gets a fair share of time. I sit in a chair which, though comfortable, makes me sit up straight. I must admit that there are just some songs that I have to sing along with because they are so meaningful to me. Before I retired, I listened to music while working unless I was working in my office. I cant sit at a desk and listen to music and get any work done. I am a drummer and I most always find myself tapping along with the music. So I don't try to listen while working at a desk
