What's inside
A 30-minute walk paired with one audiobook chapter to combine movement with focused listening. Use this when you want to finish chapters while getting exercise.
The audiobook chapter sits unplayed on my phone and I haven't left the house for a walk today.
I often forget to queue the chapter or delay leaving because my phone isn't charged or my earphones aren't ready, so the walk never starts.
After the routine the chapter will have been played during a single 30-minute walk, my phone will be back in my pocket with playback paused at the chapter end, and I will have completed the planned route.
