Focus

Hi, Im a younger person who plays dnd (im not comfortable saying my age, but its mid secondary school age) and I have struggled with being able focus at the dnd table. I started by using fidgets yet it wasnt quite enough. Ive got a campaign with my family and a few other people weekly. I have very small peraler beads that If I used wouldnt be much a distraction. I understand that listening isnt the only part, but ive nearly memorized my Monk, and It doesn't take anything for me to quickly look something on my sheet if needed. Is this a dumb idea?

If you are enjoying the game it is not a dumb idea.

My wife knits.  Once she became proficient at it she could watch TV or carry on a conversation while knitting.  As long as you can follow the game when it's someone else's turn and are ready when it's your turn no harm is done.
