3 Benefits of Listening Instead of Reading
Benefits
After listening to podcasts and using an app that reads text, these are the main benefits I found:
- Reduce screen time - when listening, your screen can be turned off.
- Multitasking - your eyes and hands are free for other tasks.
- Save your smartphone battery life.
1. Reduce screen time
Listening to three articles a day saves me an hour of screen time. It doesn't matter if the article is on my smartphone or laptop, I just listen to it when the screen is off. That's how I give my eyes a rest.
Instead of watching a video of an hour, I'm looking for the podcast and listening to it.
2. Multitasking
Instead of sitting and staring at the screen my eyes and hands are free. I can go to the kitchen and cut a salad or going for a walk. It gives me a feeling of freedom.
3. Save battery life
I did a little research: I read a 20 minute article - it wasted me 9% battery. The next day I listened to the same article (with the screen off) and it wasted only 1% battery! You must try, it's amazing you can end the day with 80% battery.
More benefits and uses
- I found this to be a good way to put children to sleep. There are tons of stories online.
- Listening while doing routine tasks: Driving, Washing dishes, Laundry, Working out etc.
- Better understanding of the content when listening.
How to read aloud text for Android

Conclusion

Reduce your screen time and save your battery life.
