Day 3: Can I listen to music and write? What song did I hear today?
Totally. I usually listen to music while I write. I also have a standing desk, so dancing isn't out of the question either.
Somewhere along the line, I received the admonishment not to listen to music with lyrics while writing or studying, because it would ruin my concentration. I always have though. I'm a big fan of Pandora.com.
I'm not shy about going against authoritarian advice. I feel more energized and fluid when listening to music. I get so focused on what I'm writing, the lyrics don't distract me. When they do catch my attention, it's usually because I need a break from my writing, so it's still a good thing.
I turn the radio on first thing in the morning while I make breakfast and the day's snack tray and load the dishwasher. Then my kids may have a dance party in the kitchen or they may sit down to one of the many projects they leave on the table.
What song did I hear today? The last one was coming out of my three-year-old's dance class this morning. I've heard it many times, but can't say what it's called. Something snappy and 80s-ish from one of those modern fairy tale movies.
