As a person who loves reading but recently has little time for it, I tried to switch to audiobooks. However, I keep catching myself losing attention while trying to concentrate on the audiobook. I find myself scrolling back on the recording to catch up on things I missed, and it’s highly frustrating. It puzzles me because I can easily read a physical book in a public place, but I can’t seem to listen to an audiobook in a public setting.
Has anyone else experienced this problem with audiobooks? Do you consider it a good alternative to a physical book when there’s no possibility or time to read a book?
My mind wanders too much to focus on audiobooks. I can only listen to them when driving and I’m not doing anything else. Otherwise I get distracted and my brain flirts with other things and I’m onto something else.
I recently listened to hunger games. I missed about 8 chapters, then settled in and stopped working then paid attention to the audio and was like wow what did I miss. Then I actually heard the end of the book. 11 hours and I maybe missed 3 hours of it.
