To piggy back off your comment, for people with a disposition for electronic music I've curated a playlist over the past 6 or 7 years of largely lyricless progressive house, techno, and electronica that helps me enter a "flow state" when I'm working. I'll share below. It's nearing 300hrs long but I add to and prune it almost everyday. I personally find classical music to be too distracting/engrossing, while the aforementioned genres I find soothing to work to. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4kXkKPkOoKmWuhmGnBMVRp?si=q_V1XnRsTSmo-HnL9MdZxQ&utm_source=copy-link https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4kXkKPkOoKmWuhmGnBMVRp?si=...

I see that you’ve named your playlist “flow state” so you might like the Flow State[0] “podcast” on Spotify. It is classified as such, but is really a playlist timed to the pomodoro method in which the author speaks about the science of flow state during the pomodoro breaks.

  Thanks, I've followed that for future listening! When I'm doing "light" work or studying I'm partial to short stints like the Pomodoro method. What the podcast author has done is very clever with the melding of playlist and podcast. When doing "deep" work, I'm more partial to much longer stints without interruption though. I enjoy becoming engrossed in my work for 4-6 hour stints, only coming to when my partner or colleague throws something at me to bring me back to reality, which I find the playlist helps me achieve; especially if I set Spotify to meld songs together. There's a fine line between productive and meditative that music really seems to trigger in me.

Ohh that's right up my alley in terms of selection, thanks! Maybe you'll find more stuff in mine as well, went for a very similar vibe: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5TKa6UIDMybmeAGq39ymPE?si=7cf137cae54442bb https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5TKa6UIDMybmeAGq39ymPE?si=...
