Will be working this entire weekend - what are your favorite things to listen to when grinding for hours on end?

If it’s mid-day and I’m not doing any intense modeling, I’ll listen to podcasts or audiobooks.

When I really need to think, I turn off the music.

Late nights when it’s dark, I’ll play synthwave and vaporwave. Turn off all the lights and put some of those YouTube videos with the cars driving in outer space with planets. Will light a candle and put it in the corner of the wall and have the flames dance around
