This is something a lot of people in the bookish community have been recommending or saying they do. And I can 100% say that I am so glad that we're more accepting of audiobooks as reading. (Fingers crossed we don't need to have this discussion again . . . )
You'll hear this recommendation a lot: listen to audiobooks as you do certain activities. And this is a great recommendation for many reasons. Remember, though: for audiobooks to be successful while you do activities, it really depends on the precise activity you're doing. The more attention you need to pay to an activity, the less attention you'll have for the audiobook.
Listen to an audiobook while walking. If you take walks during the week - either daily or on specific weekdays - that is a perfect time to listen to a good chunk of audiobook. And it's a good excuse to not talk to people during this time if you're plugged into your phone listening to an audiobook.
Listen to an audiobook while working out. If you work out along with a video, this may not be the best time to listen to an audiobook. But if you have your own workout routine, this is a great time to listen to audiobook.
Listen to an audiobook while doing the dishes. If you're doing the dishes, this won't take a lot of thinking. Even if you have a very specific way of loading up the dishwasher and/or washing dishes, once it's habit, it doesn't take a lot of thinking. Hence, it's a great time to listen to an audiobook.
Listen to an audiobook while getting ready for the day in the morning. No matter what you do in the mornings - have breakfast, drink coffee, wash your face, or shower - that's a great time to put on an audiobook.
Listen to an audiobook while in the shower/bath. No matter when you take a shower/bath, listening to an audiobook while doing so is a good thing to focus your mind on.
