How Music Affects Your Productivity
If you’re dreading going back to work, then maybe you need a little more music in your workday. This is from Fast Company.
Music has a way of expressing that which cannot be put into words.It is for this reason (and many more) that music is regarded as one of the triumphs of human creativity–but does music itself help one to create?This is an important question to examine, because music has increasingly become apart of the modern-day work session.
The soldiers of yore may have faced insurmountable odds to the sound of trumpets, but we desk jockeys are typically left to fend off our piling inboxes with nothing more than iTunes.
