I’m listening …

When the kids were home, I mentioned to Will that I’ve started to listen to audiobooks. The concept was recommended in my book on procrastination (the one that I had postponed reading for over 5 years! No, I haven’t finished reading it yet. Sigh). When you have a major, mindless and daunting project, put on an audiobook. You can focus on that and just plug away at your chore and the time will pass faster.

So, I tried it when I was working in the basement. (I have made headway down there but, alas, I haven’t finished the job yet. Sigh). It made a huge difference. The time goes much faster and I get to listen to a story.

My choices haven’t all been good … I’m actually deliberately NOT choosing any deep thought provoking literature. That way, I can listen with half an ear and not worry that I’m going to miss a key passage, but I have enjoyed the stories and appreciate that I can putter about and get some things done while ‘reading’.

(I’m just talking about this now because I’m downloading a new book from the library and it takes a few minutes)

William told me that was ‘cheating’. Perhaps.

oops. My book is ready. Must transfer it to my ipod and the get to my chores.
