Pick the songs you want playing in the background of your life, then go do things worth scoring.

A soundtrack only works if something is happening underneath it. Music can set a mood, but it cannot supply the events, and it is easy to spend years with an excellent playlist attached to a fairly empty week. Choosing the songs is the easy half of that instruction.

Decide what you want the music behind and actually schedule it. The drive, the training, the late night project, the trip you keep mentioning. Then let the songs do what they are for, which is making ordinary effort feel like it counts.
