Using music to study

A common practice is to use music to study, but a lot of people think it is not a good idea. Actually, using music that helps you is not a bad idea, but since studying requires certain level of concentration, you will need a proper kind of music that encourages your concentration somehow.

This is where the problem lies: "the kind of music" you use. Since there are lots of music genres you can think it is not a bad idea to use the one you like, but depending on the music speed and rhythm will be the concentration level you’ll get. There are tons of music styles and kinds, but you need to know not all of them are suited to help you concentrate.

Why? Simple, just imagine you are trying to read a book and you are getting a lot of noise from a construction place right beside your house. The complex mix of sound is not helping at all right, but the same goes when you are shuffling a non balanced playlist with all kinds of music and stuff all together. We have a memory that will be associating the sound to situations, people and memories we may have attached to them altogether. Let’s skip now to a “same genre like playlist” and think in these questions: Are you able to do simple tasks while listening to it?  Are you able to listen to your inner voice while you are reading? Are you able to just simple complete any task efficiently? If the answer is no to any of this questions, then you will need to choose a different king of music.

Here I am leaving you a classical music playlist that is always helpful to me. Hope you like it!
