I love podcasts! Especially the inspirational feel good podcasts! I used to be a huge YouTube fan but about half a year ago discovered the podcast world and I’ve got hooked.
I used to watch, well mainly listen to, YouTube videos while cooking, cleaning and folding the laundry to make these boring tasks a bit more interesting. But it wasn’t very effective. I had to look at the screen from time to time, so things went a bit slower than they would’ve without this distraction. As I don’t have much time, I had to figure out something because I absolutely hate cleaning. Need some entertainment to make it somehow more bearable. I don’t mind folding the laundry and cooking but they can get boring too. Used to love cooking, trying new recipes and getting creative in the kitchen. But since I have two picky eaters in the house, cooking became pretty boring. Just making the same meals over and over and over again. (Of course, I experiment a bit, introducing new foods, but usually with not much success).
I also like learning new stuff and these minutes or hours during household chores could potentially be used for that too. First I started to listen to audiobooks. It was good but I prefer reading. Going back to a sentence I liked, thinking about it, highlighting it, getting involved. With audiobooks, it is really difficult to go back and find again what I liked.
