In the past few months I've been listening to audiobooks whenever I'm driving, in the shower, and when I do chores. Recently, I've wanted to listen to them at night instead of watching TV but I find that I have trouble just sitting idle and listening. I find I can't pay enough attention when looking at a screen or playing any type of video game but I'm hoping I can find something else that works. I wish I could knit or crochet becuase I think those would be the perfect type of activites. One thing I plan to try is coloring. Any other suggestions for things to try?

"Anytime blankets" are my crochet specialty. They're simple patterns with simple stitches (usually infinity granny squares, you just keep going and going) in a fun yarn (you can use lame yarn if you want ig, but why?).
Essentially they're so easy you barely have to look at them let alone think, and when they get big enough you can stay warm with them. Additionally, blankets have one huge advantage over other projects imo which is; if you fuck up a blanket (it's crooked, stitches missing, etc) it's still a functional blanket. If you fuck up a scarf it feels like a failure bc then you don't want to wear it.
I've worked on a single one for years, but I've also finished one in under a month. You do the blanket any time you feel like it, it's just for keeping your hands busy.
