Hmm who told him that was a good idea? I get talking proudly about it but unless there's a good reason it feels like a bad feedback loop.

I am a little obsessed with songs at times and even I can't stand listen to the same song more than 10 times in a day unless I was trying to memorize it or something.

Huh? Nobody told me it was a good idea! I did it once and liked it and so I kept doing it.

In that paragraph I'm describing how I work. The very next sentence is:

> These things work for me, but you'll need to find what works for you.

It's not prescriptive, just descriptive.

Ah I see. I tend to ruminate a lot so that must be why the idea seems problematic to me. But you didn't say you ruminate or that you were interested in the lyrics of the songs and I'm not sure it would increase my rumination if I did it. I suppose I do it anyways just not to the same level and for different reasons. I get obsessed with a set of songs and listen to them a lot for a while.
