    • Schedule Spaced Replays

      7.7

      Requeue difficult vocabulary after a day or two to strengthen recall beyond passive listening.

    • Use Playback Bookmarks

      7.3

      Save exact stopping points after interruptions, then resume without replaying familiar material.

  3. Voice-Dictate Work Notes

    7.7

    Capture ideas hands-free, then review and edit them after arriving safely.

    7.0

    Use predictable train segments for focused reading, and defer tasks needing stable attention.

  5. Plan Around Route Variability

    7.0

    Compare travel-time history by departure slot and assign only tasks that fit reliably.
