I generally prefer reading, but I don't judge people who prefer listening. My wife sometimes plays audiobooks for our kids, I read them.

- mlyle 10mo agoI really wish I could make myself listen. The times I have just sat and listened to a well-told, well-paced story have been magical. But the dopamine hit of reading -too quickly- competes; the pressure to "be busy" wins and makes me impatient for the spoken word by default. The defaults are too high. I'd be better off reading less but reading more slowly, and listening sometimes. But this is not the highest priority problem to fix, either, and I can't fix everything.
