I used to be the type of person that desperately wanted to increase my focus, I read so many articles, watched videos but I never really did the one thing that would help me increase my focus which was actually doing the work. Once you force yourself to get into that state of flow you won’t be able to remain focused but here are a few sites that have helped me achieve that state of flow which let me tell you FEELS AMAZING!! Time literally stops moving, and you can get so much done incredibly quickly. When I was in the state of flow, I was able to Animate 30 seconds in 2 hours, make 5 beats in 20 minutes and create some cover art for a client in under an hour.
Noisli (https://www.noisli.com)
Noisli is a site that allows you to listen to ambient noise such as wind, water flowing and my favorite and inside of a coffee shop and tons of others, also if you make an account you can combine these sounds to create the perfect sound that is designed for you. Noisli also includes a text editor which you can use to write down anything. I haven’t used Noisli in awhile but when I used it in the past I mainly just used it for studying and let me tell you that background noise is really handy. It really makes you forget you’re working. My grades even went up when I studied for tests while using it.
Brain.fm (https://www1.brain.fm)
One of my favorite sites for achieving states of flow! This site is awesome! It has music that’s basically created by robots that are designed to put your brain in the state of flow for focusing, meditating or even sleeping. They have a bunch of different categories like piano focus, forest focus, night sounds, thunder, rain, wind and more! They allow 5 free sessions when you make an account, and then it costs $7 (however, if you’re like me you just keep creating accounts ;)) or you can just make the sessions last a long time to get the most out of your free sessions. Overall I highly recommend this site :)
Soundcloud
I know what you’re thinking lol, WHY DID YOU PUT SOUNDCLOUD ON HERE!?!?!?! JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE A PRODUCER DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN ADVERTISE YOUR SHITTY MUSIC ON YOUR ON BLOG! Well, holdup holdup. Soundcloud is great because it has a ton of different types of music and genres that people upload. I normally listen to lo-fi hip-hop music when I’m working because it’s calm enough to keep you focused but also not too exciting for you to lose track.
Here’s a link to my current playlist I made when I was editing a few videos one day, and I noticed that I was editing at an extremely fast pace, so I grabbed all the music I had listened to while editing and through it all in a playlist.
