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.

when my mental health was at its lowest i found it really difficult to focus on reading but still really wanted to. My solution was audiobooks and at first it was hard to get into them but the more I did, the easier it got. It takes away some mental strain of reading too like trying to read it in the right tone or imagining their voices.
Some recs: the girl on the train (keeps you on your toes), the martian (funny, helped my mental health), throne of glass (adventure and whole new world), an inspector calls (is a play but is just so good), the love hypothesis (cutesy, quick easy read)
you could also read textbooks! Learning something new :)

I love reading but never saw myself as an audiobook girl. I also listen to so many podcasts (which I love…) that entertain me but don’t teach me things. Working on focusing my energy towards learning more, reading more! Might as well if I always have headphones in. This is a new development but I‘ve already found myself eager to listen to new books I typically wouldn’t buy or grab from the library!
also: if you don’t have the Libby app and a library card, change that immediately. imagine paying $20 for a book you only listen to!!!!

They are the only mammal to lay eggs AND they have a bill kind of like a duck. They are also one of the only living mammals to produce venom! I have loved these little freaks for a long time.
Honorable mention to chickens, especially roosters. Nothing will brighten your day quite like some silly little chickens.

Because it makes me think of Goshupon and it bops front to back. Also kinda unrelated but it brought me to the song Smearious by Zelooperz and that song also rules.
