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.

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.
