Turn On the Music, MP3ing it! 🎵

Hey, did you know that listening to music can help you to increase your focus and productivity? Well, for some people (like me) it’s not working very well, but it still gives you a comfortable and relaxing feeling. There are 2 possible ways that music can be beneficial for you: by making us smarter or by making us feel good, and helping us to plod on with otherwise boring tasks.

Productivity Music

Studies have shown that listening to music while working improves job satisfaction and productivity, as well as your overall ability to concentrate on your job (based on benjaminspall.com).

Types of Productivity Music:

• Classical Music

When we think of classical music, composers such as Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi, and Handel come up in our thoughts. In a study, seven out of eight radiologists found that baroque music increased mood and concentration on their work. *Well, it didn’t work very well for me because classical music makes me sleepy.

• Electronic Music

Electronic music with no or limited lyrics makes great productivity music because it can allow you to fully concentrate on the task at hand, while at the same time blocking out all external noise.

• Nature Music

Listening to the sounds of nature can enhance cognitive function and concentration.

• Favorite Music

Listening to your favorite song and favorite singer/band can help you to increase your mood. You will work better when you’re in a great mood.

Where to Listen?

There are some obvious platform options that you can use to listen to music like Spotify, Joox, YouTube, and others. But here, I recommend you to listen to Spotify because it works better even though there are still advertisements if you’re not subscribed to. It’s better than YouTube or Joox. I also think that Spotify Premium is worth enough for students.
