Listening to really fast jazz and instrumental rock jams somehow matches the speed my brains going and everything clicks - it gives me an extra kick of dopamine to help me get through whatever task I’m doing and and entertains/distracts me from getting distracted by everythjng else going on outside my brain and lets me just focus on the task at hand. I get less sidetracked bc I’m already entertained by the music and therefore am not looking for other external sources of dopamine while doing something I don’t like doing like homework. I love phish and yussef dayes for this. and adderall

it drowns out distractions .. I also already listen to the same song when I study so this is probably better .. it has the effect on me I feel classical music does for others but with higher stakes

If you have a computer job, nothing passes the time like putting on an album. Throw something on, no skips, no complaining, just listening until its done and 45min-1hr has passed.
I also like to set challenges for myself to not repeat stuff I am listening to. Last couple of months, Rate Your Music has been pretty valuable for finding stuff to listen to, like the highest rated Brazilian Pop albums and checking them out.
I have been logging a list of stuff I have been checking out here.

Hey guys so God just sent me a direct message and she let me know that if you can’t let loose and get down to SMOOTH BY SANTANA FT. ROB THOMAS then you really need to stop taking yourself so seriously and learn how to have a bit of fun

i’m hopelessly biased because this album is intimately wrapped up with the transitory period of my life in which i discovered it, but it was also in many ways my entry point to jazz and manages to be sonically unique while still remaining accessible
