At the moment I listen to media/advanced ChinesePod lessons on my phone on shuffle when I'm not at my computer, and Go (围棋) commentary videos on YouTube when I am. I listen to the advanced stuff on C-Pod because it's all in Chinese, rather than because I'm actually at that level. This guy - https://massimmersionapproach.com/ - suggests using your active listening material from the week before as background for the current week, and I might try that at some point.
WillTCool! Thanks. Those are some helpful ideas!

Not sure how best to count background listening, which I do pretty much all day, but I'll put it in at a flat 30 minutes per day for now.
