I have tried this before, I was listening to music, was eating popcorn, and was reading my book, and some time later I ended up with severe headache. So have you ever tried that?

I did that in my college days, I listened to music eating anything most of the time peanuts but not popcorn cause i just don't like eating this finger food. I only did these when the topic or the lesson i am reading is not too difficult to answer or to understand.

OMG i have tried this long back and stopped because of severe head ache. I almost continued this for a week and finally i have severe head ache. I also went to a doc buddy, by now you might have come to a conclusion that how severe head ache was. Yes many have this habit in my college but some discontinued because of the same reason ..You see some have absolutely no problem with this task.
3 things at a time is deadly dangerous and that two the works are dealt with your head...listening music makes your brain to sing and if you start reading then you will force your brain to much to do the jobs and eating ....

To be honest, I always pride myself on my multi-tasking capability! .
I can infact listen to music, eat, study and watch TV at the same time! Don't ask me how, but I can lol. A couple of conditions that tag along with that are:
1) As long as the music's not from ear phones :P
2) What I'm eating is just snacks and not a heavy meal :o
So provided that's satisfied, I'm alright with it! :D

I don't know about eating but studying and listening to music is pretty compatible. There are times when we feel very tired of studying. Then music is really helpful. It relax your mind. You just need to play the music in very low volume in the background and you can feel the difference. I have never tried popcorn. But I have drink tea or coffee while doing the other two thing. Sometimes smoking also helpful for me to release the pressure of the study. But I am not recommending you to smoke. I am addicted to it so I cannot help it.

Listen to music while studying or drawing. Yes. But not while eating. I don't eat while studying because it only concentrate on eating.

It depends if I'm interested in what I'm studying. If I am then ya I can get away with that but if it's something I find boring no I can't focus.
