This specific video has helped me buckle down and get shit done so many times. I’ve even made loops of songs I have copies of on my computer for this kind of thing. The repetition OH MY GOD it tickles my brain in just the right way so as to boost productivity. It’s great how that can cancel out the ADHD when I have deadlines looming.

Video game music does the same thing. Death by Glamour gets me in the ZONE.

    My music is a compost pile. All the new stuff I listen to is on top and it gets listened to on repeat and the music is less engaging the further down the stack it goes, even though it was on repeat when it was fresh. Stuff at the bottom of the list may only get played once in a year or even less.

    My brain has changed a bit over time. I used to need that constant noise, it helped things flow. Now I prefer quiet. Noise breaks the flow.

    272 times? Those are rookie numbers.

    I practically only have one playlist. Some of the music on it was added in the last millennia.

    The repetition really is key. Some of the music on my list have several versions, same song but different recordings, but it has to be the right version. Usually the first one I heard. Having insert streaming service replace “my” version with another is a jarring experience.

    I guess, I have too many (new) songs in my playlist. Would I otherwise get in a programming tunnel easier?

    Yes, I know, there is music for programming, but it is all new to me, hence too exciting and I get distracted. I have to test things.

    I see you. I get thrown off when my liked playlist is shuffled or songs go missing. The world is chaotic and I just want consistency.

    Just playing a Collective Soul compilation on repeat does the same for me.

    This is cool too, though.
