I am in the middle of strenuous essay writing and it is hard for me to calm down when the deadline is today and suddenly a flurry of new assignments drop into my inbox. There isn't much for me to do but continue on with the assignment I am working on and take a deep breath. At the same time, as I stare at the words on my paper (or screen), I find it hard to concentrate because half the time I don't know which thoughts to put down. It is now when I need to turn up some music before my mind overruns and burns itself out in stress.  Nothing else to it. I summon Youtube and enter in what I find the most helpful music for me when studying. Currently listening to: Complete Final Fantasy Piano Collections - www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-dt1ZXxZ6IRelaxing Piano Studio Ghibli Complete Collection - www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Q-cI4RE5s
Of course when it comes to writing stories or something other, I use different playlists for sake of mood. So I'm curious - what music do you find helps you when you're studying or under such circumstances? Please share! Oh dear, I should be getting back to that essay.  |

Great question, Nuyori! ^^ For me, it depends on what I'm doing. If I'm writing, reading, or studying, I absolutely can't listen to music with lyrics (in any language). I made a Spotify playlist for that: But I think a few songs with lyrics have snuck in that I haven't removed yet~ When I draw, I can listen to about anything, but normally I listen to something themed to the drawing or whatever I'm feeling in the moment. I have a large selection of Spotify and Apple Music playlists I use, such as Evening K-Acoustics, Creativity Boost, K-Drama OSTs, Deep Focus, Ghibli, Solo Piano, and Afternoon Acoustics. I also love listening to seasonal music, so lately I've been listening to Soak Up The Sun, Tropical Morning, and Summer Cruisin', but in Autumn I listen to Autumn Leaves, Autumn Lounge, and Autumn Jazz. In Winter, I LOVE the Acoustic Winter playlist. And in Spring, I'm fond of the Acoustic Spring playlist.  |

Thanks for your input Churro ^^ Oh yes, that's something I can relate to. I made an early mistake of trying to write with music with lyrics, and had a terrible time trying to focus (because I couldn't at all lol). You keep your music well organized! O: And you have quite the variety ooooh. I'll see to looking up some of those, they look interesting. Piano or orchestral music helps me the most as study music. Though I use everything else for drawing or writing. Most of my music consists of game OSTs, anime soundtracks, or Vocaloid. Some of the albums in my playlist: - Baccano! OST. - Durarara!! OST. - Layton Brothers Mystery Room - Time Travelers OST. - Darker Than Black OST - Doctor Who - Forbidden Kingdom - (more of this kind of music) Actually there's a band I really like, Tokyo Active NEETs, I think they're called? (something like that, I cannot read T_T) They perform very nice jazz arrangements of all sorts of music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8f8H_WYsBc |

I have contradicted myself this time around. I had two essays to accomplish this round, but the piano music worked only the first essay.
By the second essay I found myself getting distracted and sleepy to the soothing piano.
But guess what I was writing about this second essay? Games! Video games in fact! So I thought then I could try something a little different. I summoned YouTube once again but this time, instead of Final Fantasy piano music, I selected some Final Fantasy Remixes. The energy and beat got me back up and on track.
I suppose I should keep in mind what I'm doing at the moment to choose my music rather than choose my music first and then write.
Anyway, that's my report on Music I Listen To While I Work today!

This week for Music While I Work: Ace Attorney piano music! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgE5gKoeg8wNo, I wasn't writing up a lawsuit today, but I had the need for listening to something else than my previous playlist. Lovely jazzy, tense, and active music that's keeping me alert for now  |

This week is my last week of essays! (HYEAH) I can't relax quite yet though. In fact, I'm finding it hard to relax under the shelf of other duties I have to attend to this week. I couldn't exactly find a compilation of Professor Layton piano music, so I had to settle with other orchestrations instead. Found a playlist of Live PL arrangements. This is one of them: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6T0y9gN-kQ&list=PLI1TgR1r8pCqe2-N9zWjRr_5q2Qm6dSq_&index=4Happy working! |

I'mma need a new playlist for this new writing course. It's writing for business subjects. Anyone have any suggestions?
I was thinking of business like tunes (are there such things?). Like music that you would use for a business meeting, or any kind of meeting, in a movie scene.
