    Audiobooks are a weird medium for me where I’m not really sure what to do with my body while listening to them. I get easily distracted if I try to do something else like cooking or knitting, and I get fidgety if I just sit and stare at a wall. My mind just wanders and I can’t lose myself in the story like I can when eyeball reading. I listen to podcasts on my walk to work, no problem, but I need to focus 100% on books or I don’t process them at all.

      Yeah, it took me awhile to train my brain to focus on them. I have to do something that requires almost no thought to basically keep my hands busy without distracting me from focusing on the book.
