I've been transitioning to audio books as much as possible lately simply because I can multitask with it and I find I have a much faster through put.
They cost a lot more but its a small price to pay to get through the material in a way that I actually absord.
- blumkvist 11y agoSome people believe multitasking is a myth. I'm one of those people. I also believe when listening audio books, you shouldn't do anything else. Probably not even driving. Laying in bed or sitting in the sofa are my best ways. Lots of people get very interested in audibooks and quickly stop listening, citing concentration issues. I always recommend to those people to stop doing whatever else they are doing and simply listen to the book, and people often come back to me and tell me they gave it a second shot and love it.

Going for a walk, or doing other things I normally wouldn't be able to do while reading. Can I multitask with any task? No. But I can effectively do two things at once.
- blumkvist 11y agoI guess it would depend on the activities. Walking down the street and chewing a gum - fine. Driving and listening to Dumas? Not so much, in my opinion.
- cconcepts 11y agoStuff like going for a run or sweeping the house I can easily do while listening to an audio book. But you're right, anything more cognitively demanding than that and I have to choose one or the other.
- crististm 11y agoI've found information passes by me if I do anything else than listening to the audio book.
