过去当我想工作或打扫屋子时我会打开一部电影，但是我发现每次我都是坐在沙发前看电视而不是起来采取行动。

I decided to listen to audio books instead: that way I don’t have anything visual distracting me from the things I need to get done but I still have something entertaining or educational to listen to.

我决定用听有声书的方式来替代看电视：这样没有视觉上的东西干扰我去做所需做的事情，而我仍然有娱乐性或教育性的内容去听。
