My name is Will DeFries and this is a Sunday Scaries podcast, your cure for the Sunday Blues.

145 Songs

Exactly 11 hours in one minute long.

Originally, I created it as a playlist to accompany me on long drives, but soon it morphed

into something that I relied on more than I ever anticipated.

It really just became a beacon of productivity for me.

The playlist that I'm referring to is one that I've featured on this show before,

Ipanema.

It's somewhat carefully curated playlist with anything from jazz to bossa nova to even

certain movie soundtracks like talented Mr. Ripley.

While the curation of the playlist is something I'm proud of, the real shining star is something

that I just referenced, that 11 hour runtime.

Being able to go an entire work day, sometimes two work days without hearing a repeat song

is something that I simply can't put a price on.

And with a few words sung outside of, you know, chat baker, it allows me to settle in,

tune out, and coast with minimal interruption.

Really, it's my perfect work playlist.

But since I started it in 2014, obviously those 11 hours can wear on someone which is why

I've attempted to seek refuge in various other Spotify created playlists for work days.

And you'll find in common with the work driven Spotify playlist I'm about to recommend,

minimal lyrics, and maximum vibes.

These are some of the best playlists to work to.
