This list of songs is a resource for the blog post “Tools of Time Management, 4: Routines.” I’m taking suggestions for more songs to add to this playlist. Unless otherwise noted, the songs are readily available. Most are downloadable.

Thematic categories I’d like to add:

• Writing (prompt to start a writing session). April 22, 2014: Added Offenbach, “Galop Infernal” from Orpheus in the Underworld, AKA the CAN-CAN, when starting tasks likely to elicit procrastination. 
• Writing (prompt to end a writing session or Pomodoro)
• Washing dishes
