here’s a tip for you if you like having music to study but have trouble focusing on your work while listening to it

listen to music in another language. one that you don’t know at all or barely know. it helps because it gives you the nice sound of music, without having the lyrics meaning much to you. 

having lyrics are a must for me personally, i don’t like instrumental music. however, having lyrics that are in a language i do not understand really helps when studying. i become less focused on the lyrics and more on just the general song. it becomes a sound that helps me focus, vs a small dance party/sing-along in my head. 

DO NOT PICK A LANGUAGE YOU ARE FLUENT IN. if you know the language well, you are more likely to be more focused on the lyrics, causing distraction.

i really hope this helps people as much as it helps me. happy focusing :)

Any advice about talking long term assignments like essays and projects? I have the hardest time getting started and sticking to the plan, and when I do “work”, staying focused on it.

Okay, so my method might not be the right one for you, but this is what works for me:

1. Schedule a few dates and time frames to work on the assignment ahead of the deadline. This will make even more sense when you get further down the list.

2. Change into “outside” clothes (not pajamas or sweats, gotta feel like you’re going somewhere even if you aren’t)

3. Set up a designated spot in your house/room that is only for work. For me, it was in the floor at the coffee table in the living room. It just felt best to sit there.

4. Set a timer and work for only an hour at a time. (I cannot stress this enough, your brain starts dumping out information after a while and you’re just wasting time) Then set another timer to take a 15 minute break - Eat a snack, watch a video, walk a lap around your house, etc. (it’s important to get up and move away from your designated work area. It helps separate your work from your break time, and it gets your blood flowing)

So that’s 15 minutes of break time for every 1 hour of work.

It’s so much better for you, and it keeps the work from feeling like a punishment!
