This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Same here. But with eBooks too. Sometimes my brain drifts for a while and I reread the same paragraph 5 times. So what I do is "double-dip". I listen to and read the ebook at the same time. This way my brain has no chance of escaping. This has also helped me with my English; oh, so that's how you pronounce albeit?
Hello fellow ADHD adult! I've heard the advice about using the double medium before but never given it a shot. Honestly it would probably work great, but I've just never committed to it.
It works great for me. Not for my wife though, who is textbook ADHD. She reads slow, and if she matches the speed for the audiobook to her reading speed, it gets boring :) the wonders of neurodiversity :)
Hahahah yeeeah. I'm technically a slow reader too, but it's more because I have to keep rereading paragraphs when I stop paying attention, so I'd be more like you probably.
My gf is a completely different brand of neurospicy and she just could not grasp that not only do I have to read the words but I have to actively make sure my brain is trying to comprehend them too or I just go on autopilot.
