Concentration

Here are a list of songs I have recently played at work to help me achieve flow:

It occurs to me that this seems a bit warped. Not because of the type of music I enjoy (people listen to a lot crazier stuff), but because it’s what I listen to to concentrate. Some sort of calming piano is exactly what I don’t need: it simultaneously puts me to sleep and helps my mind wander ten times worse than usual. But for some reason, my mind has no trouble focusing while Daft Punk blares at full volume, yet it has the hardest time in the world concentrating while I sit in a silent room. Someone tell me I’m not crazy.
