Music to Work By

An (incomplete) list of the music I listen to when I'm trying to get shit done :tm:. Obviously all the links are on Spotify for easy listening to. And part of me wishes we were still in the "personal collection of mp3's" era but I also like being exposed to a lot of new bands/music that I wouldn't have found otherwise. Pandora was great for that for quite a while, but I've moved onto paying for a subscription to Spotify as I can re-listen to albums/songs/etc as much as I want. And to keep my sanity and focus in an open office (insert rant here about how open offices are terrible for knowledge workers) the subscription fee and a good pair of noise cancelling headphones is essential.

Playlists

  • Focus w/ Energy: Liquid Funk
  • Taking the morning and getting into flow: Morning Flow
  • Afternoon focus/flow, good when researching lofi hip hop music
  • Chilling: 3am Airport
  • Linkin Park, my favorites: (dead link)
  • Triphop, for when I'm feeling the 90's/00's vibe (dead link)

Individual Soundtracks

Just a taste of what I listen to on a regular basis, preferrably at high volume, blocking out any distractions so I have at least a chance of focusing!
