Although many might find music distracting or stressing, music has shown me the key in having a peaceful, yet productive work environment. People all over the world have this on going debtate on how music can actually make you focous, and many (including myslelf) have had doubts on weather this statement is true or not. Well, a while back, scientists found that listening to music that you like allows you to focous on your thoughts, making it easier to get work done without dozing off. In order to prove these results, some researchers reunited a group of teeneagers in a study room by making them take a school exam. During this test, the teachers played about 5 different songs (varing the genre), this way the researchers where able to determine how valid music is when working by analyzing the student's test scores. Once the exams where graded, they came to the conclusion that music is only considered a source of concentration if the person likes the type of genre, if one does not enjoy listening to a certain song, then it is not recommened for a work environment. Recently, I have been trying to discover the reason why music wasn't helping me study, I would see my peers deeply concentrated while having headphones plugged in and I wouldn't understand why it didn't seem to work on me. I later decided to experiment with my studying environment by istening to different music genres and actually findign the songs that suite me best. I have been listening to the same music for quite a while, but what I didnt realize was that they werent my "type", they were the ones that everybody was listening to. Why not like it right? Well now, being able to find my true passion for music has allowed me to increase my studying skills and stay focused for a longer period of time. Having a few hours locked in your room listening to your favorite songs is definielty someting to look forward to. Im not saying studying is a new hobby of mine but it's cetainly much enjoyable with soothing music.

Chiari I also enjoy music while studying. It was really cool to be able to find this new information on why some people are able to study with music and others not. I like this easy-to-read post, yet try to add some more profound lesson maybe for next week. It's always interesting to read about something meaningful you've learned.
