Me but with audiobooks. I listen while driving home. A thought might distract me so I’ll hit back, only to get back on the train of thought while I wait for the audio to get to the part I missed. Only I’ll miss it again and have to hit back again.
That's why I can't listen to audio books. Driving takes way too much attention. I have a set of driving podcasts which don't need much attention and it doesn't matter if I miss a bit
For me audiobooks makes the drive tolerable and enjoyable. I don’t find them distracting, rather I get distracted from them at times because of thoughts of work or needing to focus on dumb drivers around me.
