The best study playlist to help you concentrate

Believe us, you need a study playlist in your life! Listening to gentle music has been proven to help with cognitive tasks, it helps your brain function and allows it to process new information faster and more effectively. It does this by;

1. Improving a person’s mood which in turn leads to less distractions, and

2. Creating a background, white noise type sound improving concentration.

After a week or so using this study playlist, your brain will start linking the two and you will know you have to concentrate when it is playing. The songs themselves might even help you to recall information when you’re in your exams. Remember, though, that loud music has been shown to impair your ability to retain information. So it’s best to keep the Metallica for non-study days!
