When I am in G.S.D. mode, I always go for wordless music that lets me lock in. Like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gopYmb38DgM or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrkrdYm3HPQ When I am in hitting the gym, Spotify, pick rock song from the 2ks and hit radio mode.

Nice! Thanks for sharing the YouTube links. When in G.S.D. mode I either listen to Aphex Twin ambient music, Boards of Canada or this super long Arabian playlist (I'm not Arabian and I don't understand the music. The melody just hits nicely, like I'm in the desert. Sorta like a pilgrimage. [https://music.apple.com/gh/playlist/saharan-desert-blues/pl....])

I made Playlistable just for this in 2023

Beautiful work! I checked it out. Wasn't able to listen because of the paywall though. I definitely will during the week

I later noticed it created a playlist in my Apple Music. The playlist is great. Thank you! How do you generate the playlists? Does it factor what I already listen to?
