Do you have a hard time finishing tasks? Can’t 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 can’t 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.

something unlocked in me when I started getting into audiobooks! I put them on while I drive, fold laundry, cook, etc and now I can’t stop - my favorites recently have been nonfiction/related to current events so in a way it feels very much like a podcast substitute but with a longer runtime. I’d recommend to anyone who’s been struggling with attention/trying to make it through a physical book, it’s like an easier alternative to sitting still that still allows you to grow your brain/expand those reading comprehension skills! Libby has free audiobooks with a library card, Spotify premium also includes certain audiobooks and there are plenty of other resources online

I’m obsessed with audiobooks, and 1.8x speed is my sweet spot. It’s fast enough that I don’t get bored, but not so fast that I miss anything.

They are the only mammal to lay eggs AND they have a bill kind of like a duck. They are also one of the only living mammals to produce venom! I have loved these little freaks for a long time.
Honorable mention to chickens, especially roosters. Nothing will brighten your day quite like some silly little chickens.

Because it makes me think of Goshupon and it bops front to back. Also kinda unrelated but it brought me to the song Smearious by Zelooperz and that song also rules.
