What do you do while playing poker?

I play poker and observe the players' reactions at the table. Lately, I've been enjoying listening to New Age music while playing poker.

Play music

I find music or watching anything would distract me from the game. Is it really possible to fully concentrate on 2 things at the same time and not make any mistakes? From my experience, it's not.

Nothing should disturb me in order to concentrate on game.

For me I can't focus on playing poker without noise around me. I have to be watching something on TV or a series on Netflix while I am playing. If i'm not watching TV then I have to be listening to music. I am pretty sure the majority of people are completely opposite from me, but what do you guys do?

Noise distracts me, but sometimes I listen to music, in the background, very quietly, and I also listen to the news quite often lately.
