starting at like 1.1x and then i keep increasing every time i get comfortable with the speed and it sounds normal until i get to 1.6x or more, then i can listen to more book in less time
Do you have a hard time finishing tasks? Can’t seem to get all your work done?Listen to an audio book! It helps me do things like clean the house and fold laundry and it makes it SO much more interesting. I usually turn the speed up to 1.25-1.5 depending on the book or narrator which helps me work faster.
This really only works for things you do with your hands. I can’t listen to a book and answer emails but I work with my hands most of the day so this is a great hack for me.
Fav’s recently are:
Jane Eyre and Wind Up Bird Chronicles
A master at writing genre fiction as literary fiction. Multiple narratives, stellar characters, a time-hopping, pre- and post-apocalyptic plot, and a killer miniseries adaptation to watch once you’re finished
I only saw her perform twice, but I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else live more than once (though I obviously would like to see a lot of them live again). At least I can say one of the times I saw her was her very first US performance 🥹💔
