@Edent on train rides I look out of the windows or doodle while listening
@Edent Oh and choose a good book for the situation! Exciting books works best on long rides for me personally.
-
@Edent mostly I listen when I'm trying to unwind and fall asleep. I'll knit, sew, or stitch while listening too. I can't do anything that needs me to write or do reading comprehension.
-
@Edent Isn't drifting off to sleep on a 9 hour flight desirable?
-
@Edent My hands do nothing as I use audiobooks to fall asleep. No joke: that method has a 99% success rate. I just lie there trying go listen someone reading some book and, poof, I am sleeping.

@tanghus no. I'm flying West so need to stay awake.
-
@Edent Not mentioned yet but might work on a plane: one of those mindfulness colouring-in or drawing books? See if there's a WHSmiths equivalent in the departure lounge?
-
@neil I'll see if the cabin crew will let me break out my dustbuster 😁
-
@Edent driving, walking, cooking and other 'automatic' processes. I also use familiar books to get to sleep - a habit I started when stressed due to a shit boss.
-
@Edent
Folding origami or try to repair the defective wired headphones with aluminum chewing gum wrappers (like MacGyver)
* Yes, I was bored on a transatlantic flight once 😅... -
@Edent interesting problem 🤔
Fidget tools? Rubic's cube? -
@Edent stare out window
-
@Edent I usually listen to audiobooks in the office, while doing repetitive and/or booooooring work.
Or in the car, but only when I'm driving on routes that I already know. So not in "new" cities.

@Edent I have the exact same problem. Probably not practical for a flight, but I do simple tasks: listen in the car, while building Lego, doing a jigsaw/diamond art.
Perhaps in your case a small puzzle might help? Rubik's Cube, sudoku, mini Etch-a-Sketch?
-
@Edent Usually doing something else anyway but I guess that's harder if on a plane. Draw?
@annehargreaves @Edent Good idea! Or a colouring book!
-
@Edent If the book is important, listening to the audio while reading the printed version will increase the attention, understanding, recollection. If not, walking on my commute to work is the time for audiobooks/podcasts. And never while driving.
-
@Edent when I listen to audio books on flights it's usually with the intent of drifting off to sleep (whilst heading East). Tony Benn's diaries are particularly soothing.
Much as I like them when walking or driving they're not part of the Westward flying repertoire.
-
@Edent When I was young I always used to play with Lego. For a while as an adult I played Minecraft. Now when I listen I'm either going to sleep, cooking, or washing up so I dont need another activity.

Gli ultimi otto messaggi ricevuti dalla Federazione

@Antonio1959 non guardo più Rai telefascio meloni italiana ma scommetto che hanno parlato di lei in entrambi i servizi

On the #fediverse :
"I never expected to find my news from strangers on a federated social network that half the internet has never heard of. I never expected a lot of things. But there's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just... share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, no algorithm nudging you toward rage. Just someone who spent twenty years studying Arctic policy posting a thread at 2 AM because they think you should understand what's happening. It's the internet I was promised in 1996. It only took thirty years and the complete collapse of American journalism to get here."
I did, because I was part of that early internet. So glad it's back, and made by us, again, and not corporations.

@storiespettinate @Paoblog avete mai provato a dare un tempo massimo di attesa e poi, una volta trascorso un paio di minuti in più, andare via?
Posso assicurare che funziona.
-
The #fediverse, and hence Mastodon, as the real deal:
"Actual human beings were able to find each other and ask direct questions without this giant mountain of bullshit engagement piled on top of it."
I'm all for it.
