How I Listen To A Lot Of Audiobooks Very Fast And Take Notes
Exactly half a year ago, I published my first blog post here called How to consume over 30 books a month/365 books a year
Six months later, the process has been largely the same, with a few modifications. I still spend many hours consuming books and articles to advance my understanding.
Why listening is more practical than reading
When you have to read, you cannot do much else. You can do other activities that do not require much thinking when you listen. You can do whatever shores you need to do: cooking, dishes, cleaning, running, weight-lifting, walking, driving (if safely!), gardening, etc.
Because you must do all the chores anyway, listening does not take extra time. Instead of blocking off time to read (which you do not have, let’s be honest), you are letting the information come to you naturally.
My current tools are
- Scribd (for only $8 a month, you get access to a huge library of audiobooks)
- Audible (if not on Scribd)
- Pocket (this reading app can narrate articles for you. If you have Pocket installed, try it out with this blog post!)
