I like listening to audio books or podcasts while doing my chores or working on something that does not require much verbal thinking. I have specific podcasts that I like to listen to while cooking or doing dishes. And I also listened to a specific podcast while I was working on my picture book. Putting on headphones and starting a new episode set me into the zone and I honestly believe that that's one of the reasons why I was able to finish the project.
Nowadays, I like to learn by watching online courses (when learning about design or using a software), or again, listening to audio books (for example about marketing), but when it comes to more technical subjects, I need to read the traditional books to be able to internalize the information.
