Books
Book reader community.
Commuting, laundry, yard work, cooking/baking, dishes, shopping, pretty much any task that doesn't require talking or reading.
Drive. Donβt listen to any otherwise.
Same for me, I can only listen to audio books when I drive. It requires too much focus to be listening whilst working.
Adult coloring book apps and puzzle apps on my phone.
Go to the gym. Running on the treadmill listening to an audiobook is great I can just zone into the book.
I don't usually sit idle. On the rare occasion, I'll play Sudoku because that doesn't interfere with my listening comprehension. Vast majority I am doing some kind of work. I've knocked out many audiobooks working on my deck, painting, etc.
fish in MMOs
Play a game I've already played/ is more passive.
Will listen to more active things while playing games like: slay the spire, underrail, Warhammer.
If the game gets engaging will sometimes pause or vice versa
I listen at work, to work, and to home lol.
I learned to knit. Hands and mind occupied when Iβm too tired to wander around and donβt want to clean.
Crochet or do jigsaw puzzles.
