Sort of a side note, but I've noticed that there are some activities I can do while listening to audiobooks and others I can't. For instance, during my day job as a software engineer, when I am doing any kind of visual work, audio is easy to listen to. Things like building UIs with web tech like HTML and CSS. When I am doing anything more traditionally related to software it is a 100% shift, I can't follow a thing.
