What I listen to when I’m working:
Depends on the type of work. If I need to focus, potentially a single song on repeat for hours. Sometimes I’ll listen to podcasts – lately Pete Holmes, Joe Rogan, Confidently Insecure. If it’s music: New Music Friday playlist on Spotify or anything that reflects the mood of the day. I like variety but never silence.
