What's something productive I can do with my hands while listening to audiobooks?

I've been playing casual games, but I feel like my time can be used more efficiently.

I've never been particularly good at it but it's always interested me. Know anywhere to start?

Make reaction images, it's what I do. You'll get better and in the meantime no one cares if a mene looks bad. It's a good prompt, trying to summarize the tone of your post in a single image.

Pay attention to the book you Reddit fuck.

I like knitting. It requieres a minimal level of concentration, just enough to lock down your body.

Personally I'm a better listener if my hands are occupied with something relatively simple.

I like to woodcarve or do puzzles.

Anything that doesn't involve your full attention and you can do passively, without being full involved in it.

Something like drawing, carving, weaving, etc..

I knit, OP, I do the same when listening to new music. Keeps the hands busy and once you're even half decent at it, it requires no thought :D

Personally I only listen to audiobooks when in transit and gaze out the ferry's window; even that can send my mind wandering though. I don't know how people can read whilst doing other things

I'm slowly working on building my reading endurance back up to where it used to be.
When I'm not in bed I find it really hard to focus long enough to take in everything I'm reading, so I just resort to audibooks for a majority of the day.

I'm back up to 40 pages in one sitting though at the beginning and end of the day, so I feel like I'm going to make it soon :D
