I’m looking for suggestions that zombie-me could follow through with. The problem is I can barely bring myself to get out of bed, let alone do a useful task. It just wastes typically 2–5 hours of my life as I wait for tiredness to finally (re)take hold.
I’ve found that listening to material I already know works best. If it’s new, then I pay attention, if I’ve already heard the story multiple times I zone right out.
30 min sleep timer and hardcore history of the Mongols works every time.
Makes sense. I can get away with material I know sometimes… but if it’s a different performance, that’s enough to spoil the effect.
