Creating a Focus Playlist

If you are choosing and crafting a focus playlist, a productivity playlist, I would highly recommend choosing music with either no lyrics at all or lyrics in a language that you don't understand. You got to make sure that you do not listen to your focus playlist when you're relaxing on the weekend. There will always be a subset of the human population that finds the addition of music essentially an auditory input as deeply, deeply distracting. But really there's no one size fits all. You've got to listen and figure out what works well for you.
