Dead Week

I have a program tonight, and not much time after that before my work has to be done, and I can officially stop stressing. A while ago, I stumbled upon 8Tracks, and didn't think to use it in the classroom or anything, but today it came in very handy! Music is frequently my outlet- I use to influence my mood on days that could be improved. Today, I used it to help me stay focused... you may think you can't focus on work while music is playing, but I beg to differ! 8 Tracks offers music for any and every occasion. They have playlists such as:

• Music to stare at the ceiling to.
• Songs to listen to if you're having trouble sleeping.
• Songs to listen to when all you need to do is cry.
• Songs to listen to if you're energetic!
• Music Coffee.

And so on... several playlists have been designed for this specific week, and next week also. These playlists are called, for example:

• Songs for the reluctant study-er.
• Study Mix for Finals week 2010
• DESTROY YOUR FINALS

And so on and so forth... I find that sitting in silence allows me to get sidetracked SO easily, so putting on a study mix was super helpful! Maybe it was just mind over matter; maybe since it had study in the title, I was able to stay more focused... regardless- I feel like i got a lot more done today!
