I used to do that but i noticed that i remember almost nothing from audiobooks compared to reading since i'm always doing other stuff while listening and a book locks me in that moment cause i don't have a choice but to give it my full attention. Also i always put a song on repeat for each book or series to really connect the memory of the book to a song and i can listen to it years later and everything comes back :)

I love this. When I was a kid, I'd have the TV on while building with Legos. I quickly discovered that when I re-watched those same episodes days, weeks, or even months later, I'd immediately remember the things I built and how I built them.

I very often experience this. When i play games while listening to something and then after i re-listen or replay that part of the game the other comes back to me in vivid details.
