- Music without words for hard-to-do tasks.

- Feel good songs you enjoy for when you just CAN'T anymore.
When you feel stressed or burned out, this is the best music to get you going and be more productive. Teresa Lesiuk from a music therapy program at the University of Miami told the New York Times that "When you're stressed, you might make a decision more hastily; you have a very narrow focus of attention. When you're in a positive mood, you're able to take in more options." (via businessinsider.com)
- Ambient noise for that creative genius in you.
Ambient noise or nature sounds are best when you want to let your creative juices flowing. "Natural" sounds like waves at the beach can also improve your ability to concentrate. (via helpscout.net)Â Â
