For me it depends on the day. I like to have music in the background. Oddly enough, my poker music is pretty different from the music I like to listen to normally. I have adhd so I fidget a lot and get up and walk around. I'm pretty new to poker so I'm not ready to multitable to eliminate boredom yet, but I probably will soon.
I'm more accurate when I do nothing else than play poker at only one table.
I'm more concentrate on the game, and I try to take note on some other player
I like to listen Bob Marley music, while I'm playing poker in the beach Environment of FullTiltPoker...

well, if i´m playing an important tournment where i put some crowns, paying attention to your opponents behaviour is very important- For sure that, at a certain time, you will need to have some informtions about the people you are playing against...if you have some difficulties, try to play in more than one table at time
Mostly im reading poker discussion or lessons in pokerschool website and in cardschat.. and sometimes eating foods while waiting some games to start.. and if my game is important, im trying to focus on my game and what i want is no disturbed at all..
I am only looking at the table/tables. When i was starting out with poker i "grinded" i was both arrogant and stupid, thought everything was ABC."those micros are so easy and this strategy is so good so why care..
But nowdays i like the game so much, much because i stopped having this stupid "grinding mentality" so why should i surf the net while i play? Do you really like the game then? And don't bullshit yourself, playing poker the sloppy way is both stupid and -EV. Theeven fact is that this "grinding ABC model i first used when i started play poker was making me bored and therefore i browsed and then i lost and then it got even more boring and so on.
Overall improved mindfulness have also helped me tremendously. Look at some videos of Eckhart Tolle while you play if you can't concentrate fully.
What do you want out of it? Do you want to learn the max from your time at tables, if you do then you should really NOT doing other stuff while you play

Online: Beginning of a long tournament I'll have a stream or show on. Later on in tournaments or in a SnG or a cash game I'll turn some music that gets me more engaged in the game. On the computer I'm not terribly good with focus so I need something to help me with that
When I´m playing tournaments I mostly surf the internet or watch TV, because there is not much to do in poker tournaments than fold, fold, fold and occasionally play a hand. Of course it is a distraction from what you should concentrate on, but without these activities it would be too boring for me. But if I reach the later stages and the final table I usually get rid of everything else and just focus on the table.
I guess people who play up to 10 cash game tables at once will not be able to do anything else besides playing poker - at least I could not.

i usually play
i usually play alot of windows at once, and unless i pay close attention every few seconds min., I get sitouts and miss my hands, so I basically have my phone slot game or other semi-auto play goin, but mostly play a bunch of games at once.
