You may have read another article I wrote recently, about how hectic my life was before I found audio books. My life has changed so much since then, that I really wanted to tell you more.
I have added so many more hours to my life because of audio books – it’s amazing that I’ve managed to gain back at least the 2 extra hours that were taken when I was promoted.
How?
First of all, I now manage to get an amazing two hours of reading every morning before I to the office.
When I’m preparing for work, I listen to an audiobook now, instead of trying to rush through reading a chapter myself.
During the 1 hour or so it takes me to commute to and from work, I listen to an audio book.
I even manage to squeeze in a chapter or two of an audio book during my lunch and break times.
I have managed to gain back an incredible three hours a day from listening to audiobooks in the morning, afternoon and evening.
Now my job doesn’t have to take all of my time away from getting the value I get reading books.
Secondly, instead of spending the 1 hour reading to my kids each night when I get home tired, I play an audio book for them instead. Somehow I discovered that they seem to prefer the audio books to my reading.
I think I heard my daughter mumbling about how the voice from the audio book is “more awake than dad’s”. This shows you how sleepy I get at certain nights while reading to my kids.
Now… aren’t audio books amazing?
If you have had similar problems to me, you can gain back your time by taking advantage of the amazing value of audio books – especially audio book downloads – these are fantastic value.
The fact that most of the best-selling titles now come in audio book format make it far more interesting.
I’d suggest that you go online and do a search for the audio book version of a book you have been wanting to read but have never found the time for. A great site that I found is Spoken Network, http://www.spokennetwork.com?cam=ama0006
Even books that your kids or spouse love to read could be available in audio book format. If they are, they will be a great time saver for you.
