## Problem

Every time I want to get into flow mode, I feel like I need music to get going. Especially when processing Obsidian notes, which requires a clear mind to place things and occasionally jump into a deep writing exercise.

## Solution

Create a Alfred workflow that does the following:

1. Open Obsidian up to the BHOV Inbox note (`/Computed/To Process`)
2. Use Alfred Spotify Mini to play a random song or a playlist
3. Run `ztl` to activate

### Spotify
