Rec'd on ⚡ WHAT DO YOU DO TO HELP YOU FOCUS

I like to listen to lofi-type background music layered with sounds-- my personal fave to do this on my work laptop is the Lofi Girl chrome extension! I like combining the storm, rain, and railroad ones especially.
If all else is failing, I find a place like a coffee shop or a public library where I feel just sliiiightly watched by the people around me because it helps me feel pressured to look productive lol

I LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF A STORM AT SEA

I put my headphones on and just listen, and this is my favourite sound. At first it was a bit boring but I think at this point pressing play is a sign for my brain to switch into a work mode. I personally use an app called Noisli, Youtube or Spotify were annoying because of the breaks between recorgings. Now I use this even when I'm at the museum and can't focus because of the other visitors.

THERE IS LOVE IN U

listening to this on public transit or on my walk to work or when I get home from work or when I’m reading fiction or when I want to listen to some sounds and some beats
Exactly the right sonic texture to overlay with ambient city noises + also happens to trigger my hyperfocus

KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE

I grew up loving this movie and I rewatch it every time I'm feeling a little bit burnt out or directionless
I know the main character is only like thirteen, but the movie perfectly captures the feeling of moving out of your hometown and trying to figure out who you are and what you want to do, so it hits it even harder in your late teens/early 20s imo haha
It's also just so cozy! I love the art and music
