When I am working I like to have music in the background to help me focus. I find, like a lot of people, that it needs to be music without lyrics most of the time.

Here are the Spotify playlist I use:

If I really want to focus or need to be creative I use brain.fm. Many years ago I signed up for a lifetime subscription when it first started. I was initially sceptical of it but I thought I would give it a go.

I have been pleasantly surprised on the impact it has had. I have found that playing this in the background, with or without headphones, has actually helped me focus on what I need to do. Whether it is just the effect of removing distracting background noise or the claimed science actually works I am not sure but I have definitely found it has helped, especially when I have to write technical documents for work.
