1001bot: Making 1001 Albums Doable

Introduction

In my last post, I went through some of the interesting (at least, to me) insights I gained through the 1001 Albums process. One thing I didn’t discuss much was the mechanics of listening to an assigned album 5 days a week for 4 years. It turns out it can be tricky to stay the course. Various distractions can happen, such as vacations, business trips, or just really busy workdays full of meetings, that can make keeping up a challenge. It’s worth noting that if you do miss a day, you don’t miss your chance to listen and review the album. However, if you miss a week or so without reviewing, the site will pause your progression. We never actually ran into that, but it warned us it was going to do it at some point.
