Rather than setting a timer + starting/stopping music, I'm a huge advocate of Focus@Will[1], which is basically a combo of the items mentioned in this article: No need to select music (they have an extensive library). You just set a timer and you get a "ding" to start work, which is oddly effective at getting you into the zone.
I've found it also helps to build a list of tasks _before_ you start working for the day. Then you can do your focused sessions 1 after the other, without wondering "What's next?".

- monkeynotes 8y agoYeah, I'm not gonna supply credit card / paypal for a 'free' trial. That's just greasy. If the product is worth paying for I'd be sure to add my credit card after the trial.
- ElijahLynn 8y agoI am a big fan of Focus@Will, I bought a lifetime subscription on Cyber Monday. However, it is hard to use their application (the streaming stops too much) and it doesn't integrate with Google Home, so I cannot say Focus@Will etc. And therefore end up using Google Music more with "Hey Google Play Focus Music" and it usually plays a station called Electronic Focus (https://play.google.com/music/r/m/Ln4hob7zcot52fkp5xudi2tiubi?t=Electronic_Focus https://play.google.com/music/r/m/Ln4hob7zcot52fkp5xudi2tiub...), which gives me long periods of deep, serene, intense focus.
