I'm sorry, but this is what crafting is at the current time. I wish they would require me to devote more attention/interest in what I'm doing to level up, but until then, this seems to be the best method for the grind.
I do the same - I craft a ton of the same item over and over and don't really pay attention to things around me until I am done with that series of synths. I am often reading Lodestone or something else online, actually. I usually craft in the same place, often logging in and out right in front of my retainers in the wards. I craft there because there is no spam so I can actually read just my ls chat when I care to glance at the screen.

I have often wondered if people assume I am botting - I am definitely not. Crafting is tedious at times and I highly doubt that nearly as many people are truly botting as are suspected of doing so.
