Happy Tuesday!
It’s a quiet day here today. I’ve been head down getting things done and didn’t even put the music on today. Sometimes I like working with music and other times, only dead quiet will do, and I never really know until I get up in the morning which one it’s going to be.
This morning it’s been a quiet morning because I’ve been working on technical stuff. But this evening when I go back to my bookkeeping and tax organizing, you can bet I’ll be cranking the tunes since that’s a lot of copy, paste and monotony and I’ll need to keep my energy high!
So, for today’s read I thought I’d go back into the archives and share this with you:
Today’s Read: 4 Tips for Using Music to Boost Productivity
I’m a firm believer in using music to boost productivity, and unless I’m doing a live Zoom or recording videos, there are always tunes playing in the background. I think I might have mentioned in a newsletter or two that turning on the Spotify is my trigger that it’s time to start working!
It’s easy for me to see the link between music and productivity because I’ve been musical all my life. My dad was a musician and a piano teacher, and I started playing the piano when I was about 3 years old. He was always convinced that there was a direct relationship between the music that you listen to and how productive and/or creative you are at any given moment.
And the older I get, the more inclined I am to agree with him.
In fact, there is a body of research that shows how music can provide many benefits to your brain and overall cardiovascular health. It can increase your blood flow, making it easier to concentrate and relax. Increased blood flow protects your brain from memory loss, allows you to de-stress, and reduces inflammation that can damage your body’s healthy cells over time.
Music even works the other way around for high blood pressure due to illness or stress. The key to using music to boost productivity is to find music that makes you happier. It ends up creating a positive spiraling effect throughout your day.
Current Updates and Offers from Me…
There are 10 packs to choose from, and these were all from the original Coloring Patterns Monthly membership, so if you were in that last year make sure you check to see whether you already have them before you buy.
Each pack has 25 patterns, and they come in JPG, PNG, and transparent PNG formats. They are done as standard 12” x 12” digital papers, and are print-ready 300 d.p.i.
This is the first time they’ve been offered for sale outside the membership, and I’m excited for you to see them because I think they’re some of the best patterns I’ve ever created!
Use coupon code CPFLASH7 to save 72% on each pack – that makes them $7 each instead of the regular $25.
