What are your favorite activities to do while listening to Audible?

I wouldn’t call it “favorite” but I shall only listen to audible when I drive. Now that it’s spring time maybe I’ll listen while mowing the lawn too.

Playing Civ VI.

My normaly listening times are and probably my order of preference:

Getting ready for work in the morning

Driving

Cleaning the house

Mowing the lawn

Primarily driving. When I'm with my wife, she tends to interrupt with random thoughts and distract me so mostly when I'm alone. Sometimes I'll use headphones on a long drive and she will do the same since we listen to different books. My kids love the kids themed books that are released with audible originals so I've been getting those for 45+min drives.

​

I also listen a lot when I'm exercising. However, I just got a new watch that can hold music and books (so I don't have to run with my phone) but I don't think Audible can sync to my Garmin yet so I have to buy a book elsewhere or borrow from library or rip MP3s.

I like listening while I walk to and from uni campus. It's a 20 minute walk which is usually long enough for a chapter or two of whatever book I'm on, it's a great way to start the day.

I also find my productivity of menial tasks improves while listening to Audible. Tidying, cleaning, and making food are now enjoyable because I don't really have to focus on them.

I love Audible!!!

I listen to them when I can't sleep, so... lay in bed in the dark with my eyes closed, I guess. Ha.

Favorite? Cooking. But I also do other housework like laundry, dishes, general cleaning along with remodling of the house.

Travelling - by train usually. Something I do daily.

Mowing the lawn. In fact, the first two times I've mowed the lawn this year I didn't listen to anything, but it made me feel nostalgic for the Wheel of Time. The last 2-3 years I spent listening to the Wheel of Time so mowing certain parts of the lawn will take me back to certain parts of the series lol

I am a knitter, so primarily knitting! But I also like to listen when cooking, cleaning, walking the dogs, doing chores or anything where I’m not going to be speaking with anyone for a while.

So many situations:

• Driving
• Relaxing in the bath
• Walking^*
• Falling asleep in bed
• Gardening
• Cooking
• Cleaning
• Painting

Pretty much the only times I'm not listening to the Audible/podcasts is when I am in company or doing something I need to really focus on.

* ^Urban ^only, ^may ^sound ^counter-intuitive ^but ^I'm ^a ^country ^boy ^at ^heart ^so ^when ^I'm ^out ^with ^my ^dogs ^I ^prefer ^to ^listen ^to ^nature.

Running. I trained for several marathons listening to Roy Dotrice narrate A Song of Ice and Fire. I got so used to his voice just putting me “in the zone” for a run that I even ran my fastest 5k while listening to parts of book 3.

Also driving, cleaning the house, gardening, cooking, and walking the dogs. I love how audiobooks magically transform obligations into “me time.”

I do a lot of crafts. Many a stuffed animal and blanket and shawl have been crocheted and knitted throughout hours and hours of audiobooks!

Drive to work

I just bought a house that was neglected for a couple of years, so there's so much yard work to do. Perfect time to cut down my backlog!

Nothing beats cooking dinner or folding laundry while you listen to an audiobook.

I normally listen when I go for a walk, or when I'm laying down before bed.

Driving, doing dishes, cooking...

Commuting to and from work and while walking my dogs.
