What is the best way to listen to an audiobook while doing chores and still retain the information without getting distracted or letting my mind drift?
Here are 6 hacks;
1. Choose the Right Chores
Pick repetitive or low-cognitive tasks (e.g., washing dishes, folding clothes, sweeping) rather than mentally demanding ones. This frees mental bandwidth for comprehension.
2. Active Listening Techniques
Summarize mentally: Every few minutes, pause and ask yourself what was just said.
Chunk the content: Break the audiobook into 10–15 minute segments to focus better.
Use note-taking: jot down key points, ideas, or questions.
3. Use Playback Tools Strategically
Slower speed for comprehension: If your mind drifts easily, slow the playback slightly. However a faster speed might work for you or others, since a faster speed might cause your mind to try to pick the informations
Bookmarks or highlights: Most audiobook apps allow bookmarking, so you can quickly return to key parts.
