I listen to audio books. I spend one hour a day going to and from work. I download books from the local library (for free) to my ipod. I have a slave cable that hooks my ipod up to my car sterio. Nothing in my ears so I can hear sirens and horns!
When I quilt, I listen to the current book. If it is really good, I find it as a source of inspiration to get me into the room. Try it. You may like it.
