I thought those 'focus music' playlists were just a silly trend.

My friend in Chicago kept telling me to try one for a month, so I finally did while doing my taxes. I finished in under two hours when it normally takes me four. Has anyone else had a specific task where background noise actually helped a lot?

Ever try it for cleaning? I used to put on a fast instrumental playlist when I had to deep clean my apartment and it just made the whole thing fly by without me getting distracted.

That's a solid plan. My cleaning playlist is just me getting mad at podcasts for talking too much while I'm trying to scrub something.

I used to be all about podcasts for cleaning. Thought I needed words to keep my brain busy. But my wife put on some fast house music last weekend. I scrubbed the whole bathroom in like 15 minutes. Didn't even realize I was done. She was right. I had it backwards this whole time.
