Music While You Work
During college, I grew accustomed to studying with music on in the background. It began with generic and mellow melodies, like the ones piped into grocery stores and elevators. Eventually, it progressed to the sounds of live indie bands and singer/songwriters who performed weekly on the small stage in the basement of our student center. Studying in silence soon felt foreign.
Today, I'm almost always listening to music while I work, read or write. Quiet time is good, but living life on a bed of music is sometimes better. I believe it can boost productivity and creativity, so here is my Top 5 types of music for getting the creative juices flowing:
- classical (typical, but effective)
- trance (like Digitally Imported)
- house (Terence Patrick mixes work really well)
- surf instrumentals (Dick Dale, for example)
- Hawaiian (slack key!)
