For podcast/audiobook listeners that multitask, do you follow all of what's being discussed/said as you listen & do other stuff? (lemm.ee)

I've read a lot of people talk about doing this, and I kinda follow, but also: almost any time I've tried it ends up becoming background noise and I follow almost none of it. Are those of you that do this doing simpler tasks as you listen?

I listen to science books in my car.

I listen to a lot of it, but due to being distracted by driving, certainly not all.

Buuuut because these are educational books, I don’t mind listening to them again down the line.

So I’ve listened to most of my books more than once, and I catch different information each time because I start and stop the car at different points, start and stop paying attention to it differently, etc.

It’s a good happy medium.

Now that you mention it, that might be a good approach for those trying to learn while busy, or trying to learn all the things while learning other things. 😅
