5 Tips to Draw Longer with Focus Listening to “Relaxing Sound”

While music can be distracting, I realize other types of sound help me draw longer and
take fewer breaks. Yet draw with a great flow of inspiration and concentration.

I identified a few tricks for you to keep more focus and enjoy drawing longer hours as a Designer:

• Choose a song in a foreign language.
  Your ideas can flow without getting distracted by the meaning of the lyrics. 
• Choose a song that you heard a thousand times already.
  Same as previous. You won’t notice the lyrics, but you’ll enjoy the melody.
• Choose a cover song in instrumental only
  You will let yourself flow with a familiar tune without the distraction of the lyrics.
• Play the radio.
  So you don’t have to update manually your playlist.
  *Note that on YouTube pause your music if the page does not receive any activity.
• Turn on the TV in the background.
  Let the TV sound in the background.
  The continuous flow of sound will help your concentration to last longer.
