It's not quite the same, but it lets me play tracks I haven't listened to in a while for a few minutes a day. My secondary solution? A Bluetooth speaker in the shower. I spin records when I'm doing mundane tasks around the house, like cleaning on Sunday mornings. One hobby that's helped is a spiraling addiction to vinyl. I'm not forced to sit still for a period of time anymore-which is great in a lot of ways-but for me, it does mean less music time. And when I lived in New Jersey, my old job required an hour-long drive where I could listen to burned CDs in my Dad's 2006 Honda Accord. My pre-pandemic commutes were filled with two 30-minute trips where I could play my favorite artists and discover new music on the subway here in New York City. When I head to the gym, I play energetic songs to keep me going. Post-work, I join my partner in the living room, and we watch something together (or I dip into a video game). Anything with vocals when I'm trying to write or edit feels like someone's talking to me as I try to come up with my own words.Įver since I started working from home in 2019, my days start around 8:45 am, and I head straight to my desk after making a cup of coffee. When I'm at my desk, I can't just hit shuffle and play anything from my library I need to focus, so I usually stick to instrumental tunes.
