    Literally just today on the drive home I was wondering to myself what would be the best way to generate a list of like 100 songs that are exactly like the handful of best ones that I never skip and that hit every time.

    I didn’t know this was an ADHD thing!

    What has worked best for me in the past, funny enough, was to discover music the old fashioned way. I started with songs, bands, or sub-genres that I liked, and just loaded albums and discographies rapid fire into my jellyfin server.

    I’ll occasionally listen to an album, but when I’m feeling adventurous I typically just hit shuffle on the entire library. Every once in a while, a track that belongs on “the list” will light up my neurons and hopefully I have a hand free to add it. Otherwise, it may be lost to the sands of time.

    In my case “the list” is comprised mostly of thrash, groove, or industrial metal that is energetic enough to occupy the music box in my head so I can calmly get some work done or enjoy a stretch of country road.
