this may sound weird but I usually study with whale sounds or alpha waves when motivation is low. The novelty and rhythm keep it interesting without being distracting. Alpha waves purportedly also improve concentration/memory. If I'm not in a mood to listen to ANYthing but need to blur out surround sound, then I put on a noise canceling headset. Happy studying everyone!

Music helps me remember things. I'm not gonna listen rnb or lyric driven music, because I'll "go to places" in my head thus being distracted. The keys for me are: It must not have known lyrics, it must be in the background (low volume), usually I use the same music... so I feel like when the music plays in my head during an exam, what I studied just pours out effortlessly, it's like Shonda R's the hum. I face a lot of uncertainty without the Humm.

I always listening music during my studies. It help me to get focus.

[@CryptoJordanVR]

As a person with ADHD I have to recommend that, if you like it, you should consider listening to instrumental smooth jazz or something similarly quiet, slow and soft toned while doing math. It probably won't work for everybody but if you have ADD or ADHD it might just help you focus. It worked for me. Although this was when I was doing math problems. I'm not sure how well it would work while you're actually "studying". Cuz anything that requires reading becomes substantially more difficult. However it can help you to relax more deeply during breaks by listening to calming music, helping you to focus better after the break.

i need to create more accounts to upvote for mention of deadmaus I have ADD/ADHD probably of the learned variety b/c of my job for that reason and one other i am easily distracted by pretty much all things. i need music as a mask from people generated noise like talking, chairs being moved on hard floors (ie coffee shop), etc. EDM seems to work pretty well w or w/o lyrics, i turn on slacker and go to club hits with some wireless headphones my world becomes one of productivity.

[@tomi4717]

same, but I prefer Ludovico.

[@LaloMartins]

Yes, this. The trick is when music is less distracting than the environment noises (and possibly talk) that it can mask. I usually put music on while working: - when there's too much talk around - when there's annoying noise (construction, foosball) - when there's music I like less playing somewhere I can hear - when the task itself for some reason makes it hard to focus (boring tasks especially) - that's kind of like treating my ADHD like a cat and giving it a ball to occupy itself with For studying I prefer music less often than for work, but more or less in the same situations. Except if I'm doing flashcards I almost always put music on, it kind of falls under ‘boring task here have a ball’ except it's not really boring.

[@FBCDC]

I love listening to EDM while doing math or coding. I become more productive. But when I have to read scientific papers, I need to switch to instrumental music, so I can focus better.

[@Twiffle1]

This might sound odd, but what I've experienced and tried is this: I wear headphones when listening to music, BUT I will actually move the other earpad off my ear and have just 1 in. Somehow this makes studying very enjoyable and allows me to focus way more. I'm not sure why it works, but for me it just does.

[@Em-kq6np]

Woh! That is so interesting because I myself can not focus on maths/chemistry problems with music. However, I really do enjoy reading with music (even if it has vocals)

[@TheOnlyCheech720]

I am excited to see that the science here aligns well with what I have found true for myself. I study most often with instrumental music because of one consideration that wasn't mentioned in the video. Silence is very hard to achieve. From a point of silence any sound has a very noticeable impact and becomes quite distracting. Listening to instrumental helps me most by creating a noise tolerance so that any outside noise has to be quite loud to get my attention.

[@aissata8663]

I put on music at the start of my study session to give me energy. Then I get frustrated as I focus too much on the beat/lyrics, so I just turn it off and keep studying. So its kind of a motivator 👌🏾

[@sgrendel1514]

As a physics student, I actually find that music can be very helpful to keep myself focused while solving long problems and while exercising in different areas of math and physics that I’m familiar with. Since I am not really thinking too deep trying to understand what’s going on (since I already know), the task starts to be more focused on optimizing steps and solving the problem as efficiently as possible. There I’m just getting used to work with the concepts I already learned, and learning the methods and strategies for using then for problem solving, and music becomes very helpful to keep myself focused through the sometimes tedious tasks. But before that, when I’m reading about the concepts and learning how things work, I find music really distracting. Generalizing the idea I’d say (in my experience) music can be helpful when trying to exercise your brain and hone your cognitive skills, but not when trying to learn something completely new or when trying to understand or think deeply about something.

[@Nucleyus]

[@mehulgoel7325]

Thanks to the only youtuber who talks about variables that affect performance in studying, which ofcourse anyone is unable to do whole heartedly, because when one is studying pass the exam the next day, ie when it is critical to study one doesn't have the courage to experiment these factors.

[@saloni.sharma]

I totally agree that reading and concentrating is difficult with music on... But when I do problems it's a mood lifter.. I usually use it to start my study when I don't feel like studying... As I get interested, I stop it, then turn it on again when I get bored.

[@romanAix]

Hi! I'm a 3rd year medical student and I'm now having a burnout problem (about tons of books to read). Any recommendations ? Thank you in advance.

[@WigantX]

What I have done when I have a ton of things to study is dividing those activities throughout the day. After spending 1-2 hours reading book n°1, I take a 10-15 minutes break: I try to walk, eat or drink something, stretch, close my eyes, relax, play an instrument, take a nap, etc. Then, book n°2; second pause; then, book n°3; third pause, and so on. I also try to move from one room to another everytime I'm studying a different subject. Or, at least, I sit/stay in a different position. Keep your room clean and tidy, so you won't waste time trying to find something. Make sure your rooms is well lit and ventilated. Let your brain know that light means studying, and darkness means sleeping. Use your bed to sleep only, and avoid studying while in there. Otherwise, your brain won't be able to tell if you want to sleep or read something. Use everything at your hand to make your studying-time a pleasant time. Create songs from the material you're studying. Songs tend to stay longer in the memory than normal speech. Write important things down, with your own hand on actual paper and with different color pens. Most of the time, we rely on electronic devices, but writing reinforces memories. And using different colors helps a lot. Ask yourself some questions about the subject you're studying. Answer those questions and then verify if you're correct. Try to explain to someone else what you're reading in your own words. And finally, I recommend you to go to a gym, hang out with friend, and go to the park, beach or any touristic place once in a while and have some fun. You can also pray, if that's an activity you enjoy. I wrote a lot. I hope it wasn't in vane XD

Dude, sem.....I have tried so many times....and i desperately want it......i feel like now i should leave merging two tasks alone

[@Priya-ky8rt]

.....I’m an introvert who prefers to have music while studying and I think that my reading comprehension is quite good?.....

[@Nathanael_Forlorn]

That aligns with my experiences. I study with music, always because I am used to it by now. The main point to me, which was not considered, is the noise cancelling aspect. The main reason for me is to block out irregular outside distractions. I mostly use instrumental music, be that electronic, classic or otherwise. I tend to stick to one album / style / song or alike, to not get distracted by changes in the background hum.

if the best case scenario is to not be affected then the answer is clear . ty so much i just asked myself this question.

[@lucabeats5359]

If u wanna go absolutely stupid go drink a coffee and put noise canceling headphones on with any music in them. You will hear nothing and your brain will go absolutely crazy. As soon as you get focus nothing breaks it. Also keep your phone out of the room. This formula does not fail. I got u guys.

[@NolaanOne]

100% agree. When I read I can't listen to music or noise before being immersed in the reading. When I do the actual coding or math computation music gives me a boost. I strongly hate vocal that's the reason I choose my Playlist instead of listening to a radio or Spotify bullshit.

[@saul3965]

Dudeee yesss, I would usually listen to lyrical music whenever I start solving math problems.

[@GlobusTheGreat]

One of the best effects that music can have is to help put me into flow. I'm in Computer Science so when I need to code for several hours I put on some dark synthwave music, which generally has fairly simple and defined rhythm, plus a hint of speed and aggression, but also some deep pads/synth textures. Getting lost in the music helps me enter flow state which helps me work so much more efficiently and for so much longer than I can maintain focus consciously.

[@oscarmantecon5354]

I thumbsed up because of your choice in music 👍🏼

[@Im2kwlMSP]

[@ensengemsweekly7201]

45% of why I love to watch msi videos is just the way how introduces himself "What's going on guys,DR.JUBBAL, med school insiders.com"

[@mwahaha9790]

I am learning Chinese in school and I’ve found that it is very helpful to listen to music, with or without lyrics while practicing characters. It lets me tune out and I find that I can practice for much longer without getting bored. Since this doesn’t require much concentration the lyrics don’t distract me

[@rafiq6521]

I love listetning to 'epic music' in youtube when studying or doing assignment... it feels awesome

[@VisualNetwork]

I study with music, that's why I started a music channel 😀

[@vittoriadulot61]

Limelights where are you????

[@TonyStark-of2rw]

I am usually able to concentrate better when classical music is playing since I find it interesting and it helps my mind from wandering or getting distracted.

[@yaldamoghaddam913]

I have used music (not just instrumental but any kind of it) for studying and it always works for me
