So what’s on the agenda today? HOMEWORK! ⠀
⠀
There is NO way to talk procrastination in teens without talking about homework. They go hand in hand. And one of my favorite tools I use to help students kick it into gear….MUSIC! Now I’ve heard all the debates about whether or not music is beneficial. Or distracting. Or even both! ⠀
⠀
Here's what I know. Music can help you bolster attention & focus. If done right. Here’s what to do: MAKE A HOMEWORK PLAYLIST! ⠀
⠀
Create a 45-minute playlist with songs you like & are familiar with. DON'T include any new music because you might get too focused on the music at the expense of focusing on your work. The key is to pick songs you love & can listen to on a loop, but won’t have you singing & dancing in the library.⠀
⠀
When it’s time for homework, switch on your playlist & you’re ready to (literally) rock! Make several playlists if that works for you, a playlist for each subject or a playlist for shallow vs deep work. ⠀
⠀
Here’s why it works:⠀
🎵 Playing the same playlist every time you sit down to work eliminates the distraction of changing songs on your desktop or portable device. I always say it’s the Spotify switch up that’s distracting, not the tunes.⠀
🎵Since you’re listening to the same music over & over, eventually the music becomes background noise & hopefully, you’ll focus on it less & less.⠀
🎵 Your playlist becomes an activation device. Don’t you hear certain music & it elicits a response?
🎵 It’s portable! You always have it with you. No excuses!⠀
🎵Your music can become a timekeeper. I have students who have been using playlists for so long that they know hearing a certain song means that they are 20 minutes in or that they’re in the home stretch. Letting the music create a time sense allows you to pause & pace yourself as you work.⠀
