Babysitting for the Baumgartners -
I was doing REALLY well with my challenge this year, even through 2.5 months of isolation, but in June, my work changed how we're working, and the decrease in time to listen at work and an increase in stress and mental tiredness left me with an inability to concentrate on books. I only read 3 books during June, and two were rereads.However, I have renewed my love of podcasts (which seems to be a trend for summer as this happened last year too), and in 2020, I have so far listened to 676 episodes for a total listening time of 20 days, 23 hours (30,180 minutes).
I think my brain can concentrate on podcast episodes better than full audiobooks because it's like tv series episodes vs movies, and I'm also having better luck watching shows than full films right now.
Here's the list of podcasts I have been listening to:
The Adventure Zone
My Brother, My Brother, and Me
Fated Mates (it's a romance podcast!)
Rose Buddies/Wonderful
The Story Bites Podcast (which is about romance audiobooks!) - FINISHED
Positiviteeny! - FINISHED
99% Invisible
Sawbones
Satellite Dish with Justin & Sydnee
Shmanners
Office Ladies
Still Buffering
Surprisingly Nice - FINISHED
Losing the Sheen - FINISHED
The McElroy Brothers Will Be In Trolls World Tour - FINISHED
The Empty Bowl
We Are YA
I'm trying to figure out a way to balance my listening to audiobooks and listening to podcasts because I enjoy both, and I have goals for both. Also, I did a good job switching between them in March, April, and May. It's only been in the last month and a half that my momentum swung entirely in favor of podcasts. However, last night I was struck with the mood to jump back over to audiobooks so I'm hoping to keep that going!
