Yeah, I am exactly the same way, so what I do is 1. listen to books that I likely wouldn’t get around to reading the physical copy of (for example, I am currently working through all of Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot novels, because my library doesn’t have them and there are like 40, it’s too expensive to buy them all, hence, I’d never get around to them physically). 2. I find that I need to be doing a relatively mindless task. If I do nothing, my mind will wonder, or I’ll fall asleep, but if I do something that requires much thought, I get distracted. A task that I don’t have to think too much about often keeps me grounded and able to listen. What’s considered a mindless task will vary from person to person, but for me, that’s painting, sudoku, or solitaire. I know people for whom it’s cleaning or video games.
I read when I can/when I feel like it. I have 1 physical and 1 audiobook on the go at any given time, so I can listen to a book if I can’t focus on the words. I bring my physical book wherever I go, and I pull it out in whatever spare time I have. I have also been walking and reading since I was about 5, so I read on my walk to work. Some days, that’s about 20mins of reading, some days its more like 7hours.
