I only listen to music when I’m running inside on a treadmill. Usually I try and pick songs that I think will keep me motivated under fast pace conditions and heat.

The rules I’ve set for the “Skipless” playlist are simple:

• Any song can go on the playlist
• There is no limit to the number of songs on the playlist
• You can choose any song from the playlist to start, but subsequent songs must be shuffled at random
• If a song is skipped, it comes off the playlist at the end of the run and cannot be added back to the playlist for a month

Try it. You’ll definitely think twice before hitting the button to skip a song.
