Secret #9 Capitalize on downtime with audio books


Do you have to read a book for class? If so, get an audio book. Audio books are a great way to use your downtime. If you’re waiting for a bus, doing chores, or waiting for class, you should be listing to a book. I wait for my bus about 20 minutes a day; that’s 1 hour and 40 minutes wasted every week. Your time is valuable! That’s 1 hour and 40 minutes I could have spent doing homework, or a million other things. Think of all the time you waste on a daily basis. It’s probably a lot. Capitalize on your downtime!

 Most online or digital textbooks come with audio capabilities. While these audio books may be helpful, they are very boring and monotone. So if you can’t stand listening to an electronic voice, these particular audio books may not be for you. Don’t let that stop you from finding a good audio book (read to you by a human)! Even if you don't have assigned reading material, find a book that interests you, and expand your knowledge.

I get most of my audio books from audible, but there are numerous ways to find them. Some companies like Crackle Barrel will loan you an audio book for a small fee. If your short on cash, look online, most classics can be found free of charge. You can also visit your local library. With audio books you can relax and learn on-the-go.
