little daily habits that actually helped my japanese listening

I used to get so lost when native speakers talked fast, my brain just froze. So I started this tiny habit of playing short comedy podcasts for five minutes while making coffee. I don't try to translate everything, I just focus on the tone and try to fill in the gaps. It brought such a huge change to my listening and it feels so natural now. What kind of mini habits do you guys use to train your ears.
