    I have a really hard time absorbing people speaking when i’m not interacting with them, and being understimulated and not knowing what to do with my hands when i am able to focus on audiobooks. I want to love them and podcasts, but they just aren’t it for me D:

    I’m glad they work so well for you and others, though!!

      Audiobooks are fantastic for me while riding a bike or walking on a treadmill - something to physically do and something to mentally do.

      I can’t just sit and listen to them though.

      EDIT: Oh and repetitive tasks - I got back into audiobooks when I started making chainmail again. Which reminds me… I haven’t finished that thing I started a year ago…

        Yeah it works if I’m physically preoccupied but otherwise it’s just boring noise
