I wrote an article about the top 3 tips to pump out more content than 99% of creators 2 weeks ago.
Since then I’ve kept getting asked questions about my last tip. The one about listening to music while working.
More precisely.
I mentioned how I choose 1 specific piece of instrumental music and put it on a 3-hour loop. Many people read this and thought it had to get boring or distracting after a while.
But my own experience has taught me the opposite.
Whenever I hear this piece of music my mind immediately knows it’s work time. As if I’ve trained myself to relate this specific sound to a productive state.
Now whenever I turn this on, it’s almost impossible for me not to get shit done.
Even more.
I can keep on going for hours since there’s no distraction. The music becomes a trance-like background noise which helps me stay focused. So focused in fact that I don’t even recognize it most of the time if I’m really into my writing.
It’s only whenever a song ends and a new one begins or a specific piece of music suddenly changes dramatically that your mind perceives it as a distraction.
Remind yourself that this is for instrumental music only. Any music with lyrics or some sort of chanting in is automatically distracting because your mind will unconsciously try to understand what’s being said.
With that said, I don’t have a specific offer for today.
All I have to say is to think about the arguments I gave. Think about my experience and try it out for yourself. Select a piece of instrumental music, put it on repeat, and see what happens during your working sessions.
And if you don’t know what piece of music to select or you just want to know which one I use.
Then here’s the one I’ve been using for 90% of the time as of late: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1DhwM014vU
