Do you usually listen to music during the writing process? I do! It helps to concentrate and get new fresh ideas because sometimes I get stuck and don’t know how to continue. Music helps to reboot my brain, so I quickly get back to work.

Here are some videos from Youtube with music that I like.

As you may notice, all these tracks, that I’ve listed above, are background music from series, games and films. I like such kind of music because it’s enjoyable, discreet and quiet, it doesn’t distract you from work but at the same time you feel a surge of energy.

If you want to learn more, here is Amanda Johnson’s research. She interviewed some technical writing specialists to learn what’s suited to them most of all. So, in the post called ‘Best Background Music For Technical Writing’, she shares their stories and preferences.
