It makes it feel more like a movie when I can also hear the narrator. Plus, I'm a bit lazy and audiobooks allow me to put down the book and still hear the story.
Do you have a hard time finishing tasks? Canโt seem to get all your work done?Listen to an audio book! It helps me do things like clean the house and fold laundry and it makes it SO much more interesting. I usually turn the speed up to 1.25-1.5 depending on the book or narrator which helps me work faster.
This really only works for things you do with your hands. I canโt listen to a book and answer emails but I work with my hands most of the day so this is a great hack for me.
Favโs recently are:
Jane Eyre and Wind Up Bird Chronicles
I work on a college campus where we have this statue of a rat with giant balls and it has become a regular phenomenon for students/people to offer their vapes to the ball rat. It is both so silly and so beautiful to me.
Give me an everyday object that looks like a critter any day of the week. We donโt have art deco intricacy but we do have telephone booths shaped like dolphins!
