Here are things you can do while listening to an audiobook:
Ride a bike
Hike a trail
Make lasagna
Rake leaves
Roller skate (my son says no one does this any more)
Work out
Jog around the neighborhood
Knit
Endure a long flight
Make a scary Halloween decoration
Commute to and from work
Paint the fence
Clean the garage
Hem pants
Shovel snow
Bake cookies
Wash the car
Wallpaper a room
Clean the house
Walk the dog
Wait….
- at the car dealership
- at the DMV
- at the doctor’s office
- for practice to be over
- at the airport
- while your partner/spouse shops for clothes
Or, do absolutely nothing. Just chill and rest the eyes.
