As a person who loves reading but recently has little time for it, I tried to switch to audiobooks. However, I keep catching myself losing attention while trying to concentrate on the audiobook. I find myself scrolling back on the recording to catch up on things I missed, and it’s highly frustrating. It puzzles me because I can easily read a physical book in a public place, but I can’t seem to listen to an audiobook in a public setting.
Has anyone else experienced this problem with audiobooks? Do you consider it a good alternative to a physical book when there’s no possibility or time to read a book?
I listen to a lot of audiobooks. I listen while driving, cleaning, knitting, taking a walk, cooking. I find it pretty easy to focus on the story while doing a somewhat mindless task. If I have to give more focus to whatever else I’m doing, I pause the audiobook. But generally I find it pretty easy to follow audiobooks.
Same here. Sometimes when I’m really into a book I’ll even sit and just listen the way you would read a book. I can focus really well wit audiobooks personally
