I always try to take more time with my playlists and block out an hour or so to start curating one so it doesn't feel like such a throwaway task! sometimes i like to have them as time capsules, but i also love going back to them a month / year etc later and updating them so it feels like an ongoing project. linked an example one :)

i like taking the time to order playlists to convey a specific feeling or story. sometimes i challenge myself connect songs that dont have any business being on the same playlist
its time consuming but very rewarding

Sometimes there's a specific *sound* that i can't quite put my finger on, but i love it.
Any time that happens, I whack the song in a playlist, give it a vague name, and find a photo that matches.
No rush, no time limit, keep it hidden until you're happy with it. I think an hour to an hour and a half is perfect for these. Kind of makes it feel like a homemade cassette mix.
Sort of want to go an extra step further and make actual mixtapes.
If you have any like this put them in the comments I wanna check them out!

i started in 2018, but every year i make a playlist a month and any new song i like (or rediscover after forgetting) i add to the month’s playlist
as someone who loses track of time and can’t keep track of what happened in what year because it all blends for me, it’s a little funny looking back at what music i was listening to during certain events of my life, like breakups and how people i met influenced my music taste. i.e. march of 2018 when i got into lofi and i met a community of small artists who have grown since then or july of 2021 when i got into hyperpop after meeting an ex-roommate. i wish i started this earlier like in june 2015 when i got into kpop
everyone i know puts every song they like into one playlist, or their “liked songs” but i love having my songs organized into playlists and folders and one of my favorite things to do is find a theme for the playlist covers :p

a few people have said this to me and it's honestly made me so happy and such a great feeling to know you make other people feel at ease too. i really am a people person and just love getting to know anyone and everyone whether it's people's friends, family, partners etc.
