Of found it helpful to have toya laying around the house in different areas so she could easily access them without my assistance. Reading books and water play is also fun. Baby jumpers and exercausers can also provide quite a bit of entertainment.

I worked full time with a few 9 month olds home.
Entertainment depended on where they were developmentally. - walking, crawling, sitting. All my kids were diff.
I’d switch between bouncers, excersaucer, walking toys if it was appropriate for them. And then switch off boxes of books, toys, music instruments.
If learning to sit I’d given them support to play with toys in that position.
Make sure to still keep naps scheduled. It helps them a lot.

I think that if you really want to do something where you can concetrate, you need to wait till the baby naps... or you need a babysitter...

It is an illusion to work (e.g. write texts on your computer) while the baby is around and awake.

But you can do manual work like cooking, cleaning, ironing, folding laundry, because there your head is free and you can have the baby look at you and talk to him while you work...

In general, it is also a good method to induce a game/occupation and withdraw... but at this age, they have short attention span and not so many possibilites, so you would have to come back and check every few minutes, and give a new impulse if necessary.
