Yes, or music appropriate to your need for energy based on task in hand. Silence can also be your friend . It depends on you.
It is helpful, if you have a lack of motivation or concentration. But it depends also on actual mood. Sometimes the music is irritating me and stops me from concentrating.
Test it and see for yourself! I listen to music most of the time, but I’ve met people that need total silence for deep work.
Yes,I believe music during work and studying helps to concentrate. Depends on the amount of work and it’s difficulty level. Classic music, techno music, nature sounds are the best, rather listing to something with words e.g. songs.
It doesn’t need to be classical, any music is good, if I need to read I’ll perhaps listen to jazz, ambient or other electronic music.
It is good for your brain. I couldn’t get into classical music and had played my whole life than an old Professional rock n roller, introduced me to Rachmaninov! And my heart was forever changed. It just took finding the right one. I love Chopin’s Nocturnes but had been lost beyond that. If your life has been limited to Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart (who’s music is the epitome of heath for one’s brain), give ole Rach a try. He opened the doors to a whole magnitude of classicists that I had not known. But for cleaning house? It’s still going to be Ted Nugent or Steppenwolf for me. I get more done that way, dancing with my vacuum cleaner. 😉
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I think it depends on how tired your brain is. Also, if you vary between different types of music, you might get more out of it. I listen to chill-hop, lo-fi, classical, forest sounds, city hop etc
Yes, it is helpful. Listening to nice relaxing music makes the working environment peaceful and less stressful while doing deep work.
Well yes, classical music is better then a pop music, but it doesn’t have to be true for everyone. Not everyone likes to listen to Bach or Mozart, so sometimes it’s better to find your favourite song in a piano version. Definitely don’t listen to song, where is singing. It can distract you.
It definitely is to me. It can be whatever makes you be in the mood to do it. I choose music without lyrics because otherwise it disturbs me, and I feel like I’m more motivated since I don’t have to face boring, plain silence while tending to my tasks that requiere deep focus. It’s somehow an upgrade to the (painful) task, it really improves the mood. I like to listen to nature sounds such as forest rain, jungle animals and so... it’s soothing :)
