Listening to podcasts is a wonderful way to keep yourself up to date with the knowledge of the world without trying too hard to study or read. There are so many great podcasts currently in service, and so many new creators coming up with amazing ideas every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know there are multiple benefits to listening to podcasts and making it a daily habit. But how to consistently stick to it so you can get the most out of the listening practice? This article lays out a detailed step-by-step guide on how you can listen to more podcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen while doing menial chores<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a great exercise to make boring chores less tedious if you listen to a podcast while doing them. To make sure you get the most value out of the podcast while not compromising on the results of the task you\u2019re performing, pick something that doesn\u2019t require your full attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be some simple tasks like cooking, cleaning, doing the dishes, washing clothes, or hanging out clothes to dry. These tasks don\u2019t occupy much of your mental space, and you can easily complete them by multi-tasking and listening to a podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organize your listening<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Listening to the same narrator for days together can be tiring and exhausting. To make sure you get the most out of your new habit of listening to a podcast daily, you can shuffle your playlist and optimize it to increase efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep your library clean. Only pick podcasts you enjoy listening to. Don\u2019t hesitate to drop a podcast you didn\u2019t enjoy, no matter how many five-star reviews it had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the right apps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The features of your podcast app play a huge role in how enjoyable the listening experience is for you. For example, some apps don\u2019t have the sleep timer option, which can make it hard for you to listen to a podcast before going to sleep while knowing it will turn off automatically in a few minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose an app that has all the features you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play with the speed<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

An interesting feature most podcast apps have is the option to adjust the speed. If you\u2019re a native speaker, you might find the actual speed a bit too slow for you. To make sure you don\u2019t get bored, feel free to speed up the podcast so your listening experience is hassle-free and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re finding the pace of the narrator a bit too quick for your comfort, you can also tone it down so it becomes easier for you to listen to the podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make it a habit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When you treat your daily listening of podcasts as if you\u2019re building a daily habit, you\u2019re less likely to fall off the wagon. Here are two ways you can do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
