I had to train my brain to listen to audiobooks. When I first started, I only listened to books I'd already read or ones I knew the storyline. Eventually, it got to the point where I could listen to new things.

I can't just sit and listen, though. I struggle to focus on a single thing, so I listen in the car or working with my hands.

As a cost accountant who set annual budgets for 15 years, it is because we take the money away if you dont spend it. We are usually trying to account for increased supply costs of 3-5%, plus some random budget decrease upper managemnet pulled out if their butts, so uf you have a surplus, we will yank it so fast it will make your head spin.

That's my understanding from our library too. They have an event room that's used for a lot of community things, and they've asked everyone to make sure and come in through the main door so we get counted on the door ticker as it helps them out. I try and run across it ar least a couple times whenever I'm there lol.
