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 😅

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

      Same for me, I can only listen to audio books when I drive. It requires too much focus to be listening whilst working.

    Go to the gym. Running on the treadmill listening to an audiobook is great I can just zone into the book.

    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.

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

    Play a game I’ve already played/ is more passive.

    Will listen to more active things while playing games like: slay the spire, underrail, Warhammer.

    If the game gets engaging will sometimes pause or vice versa
