Needing to feel productive

I listen to a ton of audiobooks and when I’m listening to them, I like to feel like I’m doing something. Whether I’m getting through candy crush levels or cleaning my room, I feel bad if I’m not doing anything at all.

One thing that makes me feel particularly productive is to draw while listening to audiobooks. I almost feel guilty when I haven’t drawn anything in a while so it’s like killing two birds with one stone.

This drawing is one I did while listening to Alice Feeney’s, Good Bad Girl.

Many people seek productive ways to engage their minds while enjoying audiobooks. Combining listening to audiobooks with activities like drawing, cleaning, or even casual games like Candy Crush can enhance the experience, making it feel more fulfilling. Audiobooks are an excellent way to absorb stories and knowledge, but pairing them with creative activities can amplify productivity and satisfaction. For those who love art, drawing while listening can serve as a form of multitasking that is both enjoyable and relaxing. Even slight physical tasks such as organizing your workspace can lead to a sense of accomplishment. Using audiobooks as a backdrop for creative exploration not only enhances comprehension of the material but also beats feelings of guilt when you feel unproductive. If you're looking for additional ways to integrate productivity into your audiobook listening habits, consider journaling your thoughts on the story or summarizing chapters in your own words as you listen. Engaging with the content actively helps retain information and enriches your listening experience.

Perfection feels productive. But a lot of the time—it’s protection.

And protection has a cost. Not in outcomes. In experience. In how much of your life you actually get to feel. Joy doesn’t live in “almost right.” It lives in messy, present, real moments. So the question isn’t— “Did I do it perfectly?” It’s— “Was I actually there for it?” #N
