I used to do that, but now listen at 1x as it gives me time to have creative thoughts over what was said which helps me to retain the meaning behind the words.

I listen to most things above 1x speed specifically so that I don't have time to have creative thoughts about what I'm listening to, as that quickly leads to me no longer actually listening. Instead I have to specifically pause it if I want to stop and think about it.
