a good audiobook and a hands on task is a refreshing way to spend your spare time. i was so absorbed in my little bubble i hardly even noticed how much time had passed! a great screen-free activity with a cute reward!
something unlocked in me when I started getting into audiobooks! I put them on while I drive, fold laundry, cook, etc and now I can’t stop - my favorites recently have been nonfiction/related to current events so in a way it feels very much like a podcast substitute but with a longer runtime. I’d recommend to anyone who’s been struggling with attention/trying to make it through a physical book, it’s like an easier alternative to sitting still that still allows you to grow your brain/expand those reading comprehension skills! Libby has free audiobooks with a library card, Spotify premium also includes certain audiobooks and there are plenty of other resources online
I love reading and I love physical books but that is not aligning with this phase of my life rn. I remembered I could borrow the audiobook version of the novel that’s been judging me on my table since I picked it up from the library and wow. I can listen while I do the 50 million things I need to do in a day. Incredible!!! I can’t sit and chill and read but I can listen and cook and clean and weed and fish rocks out of my daughter‘s mouth!! Hooray!!
we don’t make jewellery like we used to!! where did the whimsy go!! the uniqueness!! the daintiness!! the literal ethereal feeling that this watch brings!!!! I CANNOT FIND IT ANYWHEREEEEEE
