I mean, think about it... we've been told to be more productive, do more stuff, and not rest enough. But what if our brains are actually just wired to focus? I mean, we're constantly switching between tasks anyway, so why stress about multitasking? 
And silence is like the ultimate productivity hack, right? Our minds can just chill and reflect. I've started taking more breaks outside and it's been amazing how clear my head gets. But what really got me was listening to music... I used to think it would be a great way to focus, but nope, folk music is way too distracting for that! 
Now I listen to electronic beats when I need to concentrate. Silencing our external stimuli can actually help us think better. Who knew?

Like, I can get lost in a conversation with someone for hours without even realizing it's gone on that long. Meanwhile, trying to do two things at once just seems like a recipe for disaster... and don't even get me started on the whole "music affects brain function" thing - isn't that just an excuse for people who can't focus? 
And what about all the times I've listened to podcasts while doing chores or something, and actually got stuff done without any problems? It's all about context, right? 
it's like i can focus on one thing for like 10 minutes without getting bored or something. and yeah music is def a big part of that... sometimes i just put on some instrumental beats and i'm outta there for hours 
but i also tried listening to podcasts and it was so annoying cuz my brain kept wanting to finish the other person's story 
i think taking breaks from screens is super essential for our brains 
. like, have you ever tried going for a hike or something? it's amazing how just being in nature can clear your head and help you focus 
. and omg, podcasts are literally the opposite of that 
. electronic music is like a middle ground for me - it's not too distracting but still gets me pumped up 
. Our brains are like a cat chasing laser pointers - they can't focus on one thing for too long before they're off on another adventure 
.
. And have you ever noticed how much better you focus when you're listening to music? Like, don't get me wrong, I love a good podcast 
, but sometimes I need some instrumental vibes to get me in the zone 
Plus, have you seen the stats on air pollution? Getting outside and breathing in some fresh air would be way more beneficial for our brains than listening to podcasts
