Books

Is listening to audiobooks as edifying/educational as reading?

it’s the only way i can get through a book with 3 young kids.

i noticed a few things

retention and focus only when doing something that has no distractions.

❌ doing anything outdoors/driving
✔️ doing blunt things like loading a dishwasher, organizing, vacuuming…etc

💯

tried while walking outdoor; most of the times i zone out and realize i missed 10min so have to rewind.

Yeah my only issue with audiobooks is it’s easier to get distracted

Same. Best audio book time is when cutting veggies and cleaning a room (sadly this rarely happens tho 😅 )
