When I am doing a project or writing, I often like to play music that gets me in the zone I need to be in to do my best work. I call it my “Thinking Music”. It’s music I don’t have to think about – with no vocals. I’ll play it on my phone at a low volume and it helps me focus. If it’s distracting me that day, I won’t play anything at all.
Here are a couple of tracks from my “Thinking Music” playlist –
“Wow” by Thomas Newman, and “Pankalia” by Billow Observatory.
I’ll be sharing more in upcoming posts.
Thanks for today’s music suggestions, Larry! I’m right with you. While the college DJ in me loves songs and lyrics and pulsating beats, I find the wordless melodies without clear rhythm are best for my thinking. (Even Classical music can get distracting). A friend turned me onto “soaking music,” and you can find a lot at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb3T0V8ZUhIdWnvsqO73zkQ. Take the spiritual context or leave it — I find it helps. Let me know what you think. And thanks for all the wisdom you share. It–and you–make a difference.
Today I’m grateful for these music recommendations! I love new thinking music!
Love it!!
I am energized at work by the sound track to “On Any Sunday” : )
