Wrong to listen to mass while getting ready in the morning?

Hey. Thought about something this morning. I like to listen to mass in the mornings (phone or tv) when I wake up, while I get dressed, while I have coffee, etc.

This morning I wondered if it’s wrong that I am occupied while it’s playing. Is it wrong or disrespectful to listen to it while I shower, use bathroom, brush teeth? If I’m going to put it on, should my full attention be fixed on it and I sit there like I’m in-person at mass? Or is it ok that I am listening daily for knowledge and peace, and I’m absorbing what I can while I get my kids ready or I get ready.

Side note - I do attended regular mass weekly. Not attempting to use this as a replacement. Just nice to listen in the morning but I do it while distracted and occupied.
