I'm doing 35 things
When someone is talking, to take your attention to what the mind is doing/thinking.

True Spiritual Living
by Swami Krishnananda
Chapter 4: Withdrawing from Objects of SenseSpiritual life is the intensive and systematic disentanglement of oneself from the clutches of the unspiritual forces, all which arise from what we call the consciousness of externality. This is what is called Vritra, to whom I made reference yesterday from the context of the Mahabharata. The consciousness of externality is the consciousness of space, time and objectivity. It is this that is harassing us every day – night and day, from birth to death. This is also called the trouble arising from sense perception, due to which we say the senses have to be controlled, and so on. The senses, their activity, the outward projection of the mind, the consciousness of space, time and objects – all these ultimately mean one and the same thing; and yoga, spiritual life, is only a consistent effort that we put forth to gain independence – freedom from these tangles in which we are caught.
