Listening to audiobooks is a straightforward way to read more without drastically rearranging your schedule.
Readers get books in a variety of formats – print, ebook, and audio. Each version has its own particular strengths:
- Audio is ideal for completing the entire book – think of it as a low-cost business course that you can take over and over again.
- Print is ideal for browsing and as a long-term desk reference.
- Ebook is ideal for searching inside the book and reviewing concepts on the go.
It’s very common for readers to listen to audiobooks during their morning and evening commute, or at home while doing housework or chores.
Listening to books is an easy and inexpensive way to optimize your time and increase your overall productivity. If you’re going for a ride or cleaning up, there’s no reason you shouldn’t occupy your mind and learn something useful by listening to an audiobook.
“Remember garbage in.. garbage out..”
I’ve been an Audible member for over a decade, and it’s one of the best services I use on a daily basis. Many, if not all books on my recommended reading list are available on Audible, so listening to them in audiobook format is a great way to make consistent progress.
In addition, fiction audiobooks are a wonderful, cost-efficient form of entertainment. For example, did you know “Game of Thrones” is based on the book series “A Song of Ice and Fire”, which amounts to 202 hours of entertainment at a cost of approximately $0.37 per hour.
Many say.. books are even better than the HBO series… Check it out and lemme know what you think.
