Imagine living in the 19th century and you don't ever hear music except when your daughter plays the pianoforte or someone hums a tune. And then you decide to have a night out and go to Beethoven. You sit down in the theater, anticipation building. Then the curtain opens and the first three notes of Beethoven's Fifth ring out. It's some kind of euphoria. I feel like we miss that when we listen to so much music all the time. It cheapens the effect it has. So I'm starting to only listen to music when I can sit down and appreciate it and only it, not just have it in the background. Highly recommend.

your brain is a tiny cute little rat that you can train to do anything with enough persistence. mik what are u yapping about? i trained my brain to lock in when listening to lo-fi girl on yt. you can do this with anything, just pick one thing and stick to it. i also have a degree in psychology so hear me out. irl examples: ā€¢ listening to brown noise while you sleep = makes you sleepy on airplanes ā€¢ wearing a certain perfume when you feel 10/10 = boosts your confidence when you wear it ā€¢ putting on a specific pair of sneakers when you work out = tells your brain it's time to get motivated today's example is how to train yourself to lock in here's how you do it: 1. pick a playlist >> I chose lo-fi girl bc it's always the same kind of music (more or less), has no lyrics (less distraction), updates regularly (slight variety) 2. only and i mean ONLY listen to it when you're trying to lock in >> the first couple weeks are crucial. you're training your brain to associate locking in with the playlist. >> bonus points if you can add other sensory elements, like lighting a certain candle (smell), or drinking a brand of tea (taste), etc. 3. the more you do it, the more you reinforce the association between your brain and music! >> it's been 4+ years and now i'm unstoppable!!! you can replace the above with anything, just pick something to associate with the behavior you want, do it enough, and voila!

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
