Back when I came into the office every day, it was a 45-minute commute. At least one day every week, I had no active memory of getting from the north side of the beltway to my house (about 20-25 minutes). I'd reach this point, and it was like someone flipped a switch, and I became aware that I existed.

I've done this with Audio Books. I've listened to 2-3 chapters, and they'll mention an assassin; Brain goes, wait, assassin? WHAT ASSASSIN? I start rolling back find out I completely tuned out 20 minutes of the story.

This is why I can't listen to audio books. I just get lost in the soothing voice and my mind wonders. Paper books are where it's at.

Podcasts and technology connections on YouTube. I totally enjoy them, but if I'm halfway tired and my mind doesn't want to focus and I put either on, I'm passing out after 10 minutes.

Yeah getting out of your car and realizing you have no idea how you got here is spooky.

Yea but then you realize that you have now made the audiobook last 30mins longer, so it's a win... especially if it's a good book.
