I started listening to audiobooks, while going to work. A full train and reading a paperbook doesn't really work very well... Then I got a driver's license and a car and my audiobooks were put on a shelf for a bit. Until I got a job about an hour and a half drive away from home. I started to listen again during that drive (first half hour was mostly stop and go kind of traffic [no idea what the name is in English, I only know the Dutch and German words for it
), and after that, the road was generally empty (we're talking highway kind of roads).
Now, I mostly listen when I'm doing repetative tasks, or when my eyes are simply too tired (but not me).
