If you have an easier time focusing on spoken word, audiobooks might be worth checking out. It’s been shown that both reading and audiobooks activate the same areas in the brain, so you’re still engaging your mind like you are with reading. I prefer audiobooks because they allow me to do something visual/tactile that doesn’t engage the language part of my brain at all, like a card game or sewing, so I leave that part of my brain free to focus on the audiobook.
