Item 7: Productivity Music / YouTube
Sometimes our minds love to get lost in their own world of thoughts and chatter. This is why a lot of times, I need some kind of white noise or soft background music to really focus. This is where productivity music, binaural beats, or ambient/Pomodoro method YouTube videos swoop in and help me get into flow.
Those Pomodoro method videos really help me out when I feel like i can't get anything started. I turn one on and tell myself I'll just study or work until the timer goes off for a break. Most of the time, I get into a flow and forget I had any intentions of stopping!
Sound helps my brain tune in rather than spiral out. My top three artists for tuning in would have to be Berlioz, Apocalyptica, and Sade. Classical music and Jazz work so well for me, and Sade... is simply perfect for most ocassions.
