I do this all the time. It's why I can place songs on exact years released, because I can remember certain situations where I was doing something listening to a song and I've moved quite a bit in my life and had many jobs. So doing something based on the environment I'm in while doing so can pinpoint the song's year pretty well.
I usually play a song/album/seasonal playlist out for a few weeks, then go back to my usual stuff like Spotify's New Music Friday. I listened to almost nothing but Tame Impala for a year when I discovered them, it was the first time ever that my attention was held for more than a few weeks.

I'm 50, so I feel like it keeps my brain young.
