Thanks for posting. I was literally l looking for updates on this recently and couldn’t find anything. I was worried that it might have been forgotten about

Why you gotta call me out like that? This is annoyingly accurate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That used to happen to me. I found I could only listen to audio books if I was doing something else to use up some extra “processing resources.”

I would describe it to other people as an overloaded circuit. If I applied all my brain power at the book, it would overload and shutoff.

If I was doing some tedious task that required some attention, but not too much, I could divert some of that excess energy away without overloading it. So for me that was, stocking shelves at work, doing the dishes, folding laundry, etc.

Driving wasn’t enough so I couldn’t listen to the book. (Though, later, I did train myself to and now I can do it fine)

Yeah I read the post and didn’t take the intended lesson. I said “oh! I can make that!”

Art of the deal.
