I've heard of guys reading, listening to music/books, playing games on their phones, etc. I can't do any of it. When I hunt...I rely on my hearing alot in the hardwoods, so I feel like listening to anything would hurt my chances. I like to be 100% alert at all times, if I can. I never really have a problem staying focused while I'm out so its never been an issue to me. My hunts are typically 4-6hrs in the morning, or 3-4hrs in the evening. Sometimes I hunt all day, but usually only during the rut. And then I'm totally focused because I usually have something going on that has my attn.

My big problem is, I feel like if I'm not focusing totally, I'm gonna miss "the big one". And there ain't too many of them around where I am...so I can't afford to miss seeing him! (I have been guilty of napping a few times though) LOL
