Drive. Donβt listen to any otherwise.
Same for me, I can only listen to audio books when I drive. It requires too much focus to be listening whilst working.
Browse craigslist. You can find some weird shit
Clean or play minecraft
Go to the gym. Running on the treadmill listening to an audiobook is great I can just zone into the book.
I learned to knit. Hands and mind occupied when Iβm too tired to wander around and donβt want to clean.
Crochet or do jigsaw puzzles.
I don't usually sit idle. On the rare occasion, I'll play Sudoku because that doesn't interfere with my listening comprehension. Vast majority I am doing some kind of work. I've knocked out many audiobooks working on my deck, painting, etc.
I listen at work, to work, and to home lol.
fish in MMOs
Play a game I've already played/ is more passive.
Will listen to more active things while playing games like: slay the spire, underrail, Warhammer.
If the game gets engaging will sometimes pause or vice versa
