    This is why I need familiar music playing when I’m getting ready. I have no clue how much time is passing but I can intuit it based on part of the album I’m on.

        Totally, it’s been my strategy for as long as it’s been possible. I’m pretty in tune with my library and music is ever-present in my subconscious so it’s a perfect for me. YMMV.

      I do this too! I otherwise don’t listed to music at all, but when I need to be somewhere, it’s the best way to keep track of time

      I occasionally do the same with an album I know takes almost exactly 1 hour to play. Have it in the background and roughly know what time it is.

      Nice! Habit forming routine!

      On work days, I have a routine that I knock out that takes about an hour. And when I’m finished, i do so much that I’m ready to tackle surprises. On days off, everything falls apart.
