I’m finding I am always either pressed for time or have waaay too much of it. How does the balancing act work anyway?
1st midterm tomorrow so I thought I’d just share my… study music!
On emotionally depressed days: John Mayer
On chilled out mornings: Jason Mraz
On chilled out afternoons: Arctic Monkeys
On needing some energy boost days: Miyavi, Ok Go
On distracted days: Edith Piaf (or anything in a language I cannot decipher)
On the day after the distracted days: Sinatra
On days of cramming: [insert link for sound of bustle in the SUB followed by sound of low humming in Koerner]
Everything else: start with one random Youtube video, make a playlist of recommended links. Play.
Studies say you should study in the same atmosphere as the testing room, makes sense but oh well.
Just curious, does anyone listen to the radio anymore? Do you study with sound? If so what?
Radio? Yes, on the drive to school (sometimes). CBC Radio 2, CBC Radio 1, or Espace Musique.
Studying with sound? Nope. I need absolute silence 🙂
I second CBC Radio 2. 🙂
If I’m studying with music on, it’s usually jazz (e.g. Miles Davis) or some downtempo (e.g. Zero 7).
