Happens way too often to me.

edit: I had no idea this was such a common issue!

    I used to read a lot more, and I do remember this happening, but it happens a lot for me now with podcasts. I’m a big podcast junkie and I will often find myself going down a rabbit hole of thought and realizing I have no idea what they’re talking about anymore.

      So glad it’s not only me zoning out on podcasts. I haven’t been able to read a book in years. I’m hoping i can get back into reading again now that I nuked my reddit account

        Check if your library participates in Overdrive or Libby (digital library collection). I can’t believe I had been missing out on free ebooks, audiobooks, and comics/graphic novels for years. I just needed an active library card to sign up.

      I listen to audiobooks a lot and this used to happen to me often. But I found that it actually happened less when I increased the speed. Now I generally don’t listen to anything slower than 1.3x
