How I try to divide up the time I have for listening to music

25% for music I am very familiar with and already love.
25% for music I've heard before, know is good or great, and want to understand more deeply.
25% is for music I've never heard before but I already respect the composer.
20% is for music I've never heard before at all and know very little or nothing about.
5% is for music that didn't make a positive first impression but I still feel inclined to see if it grows on me.

I keep journals in my phone and notes in books and magazines and take screenshots of album covers and all kinds of things to keep track but it's impossible for me not to forget a lot of stuff but I really do try to take in all I can and maximize the value of my listening time.
