What do you like to learn about? Like I hate self help books, but I can read books about human evolution or dinosaurs like they're fiction and get really engaged.

Edit: I also find that for me, I'm much more engaged in non fiction if it's a physical book vs on my phone/kindle

With some non-fiction, I’ve found audiobooks are easier. If there’s a bunch of technical/impossible to pronounce words, I’ve found listening to them didn’t interrupt my flow and made it easier to understand.

I really really wish I could do audiobooks! I can't listen to podcasts either. Unless I'm taking notes, I can't remember to focus on it and then all of a sudden I realize I haven't heard like the last 10 minutes.

I mostly listen to them in the car or while shopping and sometimes cooking. In the car, they can be through the speakers. Otherwise I have to have them playing through ear buds. If I don’t, I lose focus as well.
