Games to split attention to? (alien.top)

I often need to watch a lecture or some sort of long video for my assignments. I have trouble sitting there and following through every second of something that could be up to three hours.

What are some games to play that don't take too mucb attention and effort themselves and are something that I could passively play? Again nothing too much like a shooter, rpg, or a fighting game that'll take my attention, but rather something that can fill the space in my head.

Anything turn based I liked so I could look up without pausing and losing my spot. I played Civ 3 through a good chunk of university lectures.

Just break the video up into chunks or take notes on it while watching to keep you engaged.

Whenever I need to do some class work like that I really enjoy playing either one of the Civilization games or Bloon TD6.

For a little while I tried doing Total War during this too, but can't really do class stuff mid battle so it made class take way longer

Look up incremental / idle games. They're basically 'afk games' where you press a few buttons, buy some upgrades, plan a strategy, and then come back minutes/hours later and spend accumulated resources on upgrades and repeat.
