Like, I understand listening to them while driving to work, exercising, doing chores, etc!

But sometimes you’re in a moment and you don’t want to stop listening, but you’re done with your chores or something.

I currently just sit and twiddle my thumbs but I feel like I could be doing other things. Sorry if this was a dumb question I took an edie 😅

    I listen to them at bedtime or my mind wanders and I don’t absorb it. But it helps my mind also stop wandering at bedtime so I can sleep instead of replaying the most embarrassing moments of my life on replay.

    I don’t usually sit idle. On the rare occasion, I’ll play Sudoku because that doesn’t interfere with my listening comprehension. Vast majority I am doing some kind of work. I’ve knocked out many audiobooks working on my deck, painting, etc.

    Commuting, laundry, yard work, cooking/baking, dishes, shopping, pretty much any task that doesn’t require talking or reading.

    I learned to knit. Hands and mind occupied when I’m too tired to wander around and don’t want to clean.
