How to track audiobook progress
Minutes, percentage, playback speed and real listening time remaining.
Audiobook progress is best measured in time and percentage, with speed taken into account.
The tool should reduce decisions and help you return to the book. If maintaining the system takes more time than reading, simplify it.
Step-by-step method
- Record full duration.
- Update listened time or percentage.
- Add the actual playback speed.
- Judge comprehension rather than speed alone.
Common mistakes
- Comparing audio time to page counts across editions.
- Increasing speed at the expense of retention.
- Losing the position when switching apps.
