Audiobooks are fantastic for me while riding a bike or walking on a treadmill - something to physically do and something to mentally do.

I can't just sit and listen to them though.

EDIT: Oh and repetitive tasks - I got back into audiobooks when I started making chainmail again. Which reminds me... I haven't finished that thing I started a year ago...

Yeah it works if I'm physically preoccupied but otherwise it's just boring noise

That one thing you started a year ago? 🤔

Let me introduce you to my database full of projects, fantastic product- or business ideas, things I want to sew, or construct in the garden, or things I offered to do for someone else because it's something I'm really good at (but definitely don't have the time for); all of it meticulously researched, sometimes for days at a time (while I was definitely supposed to be doing something else). Most of it already started, and then promptly back-burner'd because another new, shiny, completely brilliant idea reared its gorgeous head (rinse, repeat, ad infinitum).
