    Me but with audiobooks. I listen while driving home. A thought might distract me so I’ll hit back, only to get back on the train of thought while I wait for the audio to get to the part I missed. Only I’ll miss it again and have to hit back again.

      Then you miss your exit but it’s too late to turn back now so you start your new life in a new country

      That’s why I can’t listen to audio books. Driving takes way too much attention. I have a set of driving podcasts which don’t need much attention and it doesn’t matter if I miss a bit

        For me audiobooks makes the drive tolerable and enjoyable. I don’t find them distracting, rather I get distracted from them at times because of thoughts of work or needing to focus on dumb drivers around me.
