This is the advice (audiobook) I heard way back and it worked for me. Specifically, I listen to podcasts, but only when I'm working out or comminuting to the workout.

Eventually you get invested in whatever you're listening to and want to just listen to it, but the workout limitation means you have to make time for exercise before you get your fix.

I try not to listen to audiobooks unless I am walking/shopping just so they last longer.

It's a bit difficult for me to find something I want to listen to, I like a very specific type of writing and I seem to stick to it and look for similar.

I mostly listen to Terry Pratchett's books and at this stage I have listened to most of them a few times.

Pratchett is evergreen. I've looped the Discworld series a couple times now. Nothing wrong with just listening to them on repeat.

I'd recommend YA fantasy for similar vibes, though they'll never be anything exactly like Pratchett's writing. I just recently got into A Wizard of Earthsea by Le Guin, and it left me feeling really good.
