I listen to audiobooks while taking long walks. If my mind wanders, I use the "skip back" button (in Audible you can customize the amount of time the skip-back is for). I try to make sure I catch everything because the book gets boring if you lose track of what's going on. Sometimes my mind wanders repeatedly on the same sentence and I just can't catch what was said. Then I try to repeat what they're saying to force my brain to process it, and/or take a short break. There are two other cases where I'll lose track while walking: When I need to pay attention to something else like crossing the street, or passing other people on the sidewalk. Just use the skip back. I have something on my mind that I need to process. Turn off the audio and think quietly while I walk. Sometimes it's just not a good time for books, but music is what I need. I can't just listen to an audiobook while sitting around. I'll want to do something else, right away. Sometimes I'll also listen to an audiobook while doing mindless chores, but the book needs to be extra interesting to make up for it, otherwise it's just not worth the distraction. If a book is really interesting (usually something that I think is going to revolutionize my life) then I'll be listening to it every moment I can. A little off topic but, I usually get the place I was walking, and the feeling of the book wired together in my brain.
