I started my morning at work, alone in the office, listening to my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist. The Spotify app on my desktop always takes a few minutes to start, so I began my listening on my iPhone. There’s something liberating about playing music out loud in the office, without headphones, before anyone else arrives.
I worked for an hour, with the music playing over my iPhone speakers. After an hour, I realized that the desktop app was ready to use. I clicked the “listen on this computer” button, heard a second of overlap and then felt the mid-frequency tones drop into the music as it switch from iPhone speaker to iMac speaker. It was like a drop into the day.
Welcome to Monday.
