Podcasts and Music: Listening with Purpose

Podcasts and music are in separate tabs. Both are tempting to get distracted by. I set a timer: one track, then a break.

Write down or repeat two sentences. Jot down a word that sticks in my mind on a card. Otherwise, it’s just ambiance, not learning.

Music helps with rhythm but isn’t great for specific articles. Afterward, a quick flashcard session—otherwise, only the melody remains.

The goal here is this: after ten minutes, I know which sentence I’ve retained.
