For me definitely music. I need to play my relaxation music in the morning to help me wake up, but then throughout the day I’m constantly listening to it. It helps me feel alive if I go to that extreme. Plus I just feel a lot calmer when I listen to music. When things are stressful I just have to put on a good tune and I can become happy again.

I’d have to agree with Ronnie on this one. There always needs to be some kind of background noise for me. I love music but I do also find a video to work as well. Sometimes, I even have a video of some kind playing in the background while I complete my school notes. Taking notes can be tedious at times so having an “auditory distraction” helps me to maintain my focus and keep working until my task is complete.

Firstly, a cup of tea! It’s so silly for me to think that a hot drink in the morning / before I sit down to do a task makes ALL the difference. Even if it’s decaf (which is mostly is with me), it just tricks my brain into that focused zone. It may not last long but it definitely helps… along with movie scores. If I really need to get focused, I’ll sit down with my laptop, a cup of tea and the Man of Steel score by Hans Zimmer playing.
