I am sure that
most of you are aware of the benefits of classical music to the
psycho-emotional state of a person. Classical music undoubtedly affects many
parts of the brain. But can it affect your effectiveness in the short term? As
it turned out, it is possible. This phenomenon is known as the Mozart Effect.
For example, listening to Mozart’s music enhances our brain activity. After
listening to Mozart, people who answer the standard IQ test demonstrate an
increase in intelligence. What is true here, but what is just a lie, and what
is statistics? I suggest you familiarize yourself with this in more detail:
1. Do you
listen to music while you work to increase productivity?
2. What other
influence of music on the human body do you know?
3. What methods
of increasing work efficiency do you usually use?
Comments
2. In my opinion, music can cause a wide range of effects on the human body. Listening to music I can feel everything, starting with sadness, through indifference and calm, ending with joy and euphoria.
3. Usually I try to find a quiet place to stay away from the rest of the environment to focus more on my work.
2. Well music can change the way we feel for example we will get sad or angry after listening to some music. Sometimes music can bring our memories back or help us to relax. It has a really big influence over us so we areally should match music to a situation.
3. I don't need much to boost my efficiency. I try to make myself a coffee or buy energy drink, play some relaxing music and find a place without people or if its not possible just wear headphones that will mute the noise.
2. I have the impression that thanks to music man can relax. I love listening to music while running. I always try to do it after a hard day at work and at the university. Thanks to this, I can forget about everyday problems.
3. I don't have any tricks to increase my efficiency. I just focus on tasks. Other activities can distract me. As I mentioned, I like silence. When I'm sleepy and full - I can do every task.
I can listen to music for a whole workday to keep my mind productive.
The only thing that I change from time to time is the genre that i want to listen.
2. Some people use music to relax or even for meditation.
People from ancient times have used music at battles, or to improve work and synchronize the rythms.
3. I think drinking coffee may help.
But most boost gives you task that you're most interested in.
2. I've observed when i'm training than certain type of music pumps up a human body better than other. It's easier to train with fast paced loud music then with classical masterpieces.
3. Normally i'm just locking myself alone with every thing that could disrupt my work switched off. It works really well.
1. Yes, I tend to do this quite often, moreover – I think it has a positive effect on the quality of my work. When I’m involved in some process, that does not require my full attention (especially regarding my hearing) I usually listen to my favourite artists and genres. It helps me focus, boosts my concentration and helps me do my work faster. Of course, there are exceptions, and when I’m in the middle of learning Spanish, French or something regarding animation projects I turn the music off, as my brain requires 100% of concentration. Nevertheless, I work surrounded by music whenever it’s possible. I hate to work in silence.
2. I think music can give us huge boost of positive thoughts and confidence, helps us during tough times to identify with sorrowful emotions, and it’s also a great motivator during workouts and physical activities. At least for me all of these things are true.
3. I don’t think I have any kind of method to increase my work efficiency as I am rather pleased with my productivity. I have this habit to list all the things I should do throughout the day, and thanks to that it is easier for me to keep track of all my duties and everyday tasks. I always try to get rid of all the distractions: I mute my smartphone notifications and try to find a place somewhere quiet so I can focus and get in the zone. I’ve also noticed, that sometimes it’s just better to let go, and postpone the work to different day rather than force something completely inefficient to correct it later. I think it also improves work efficiency in some way, as you do things, that you are capable of doing, at the moment, rather than force yourself and your brain to do something sloppy.
2. I know music has stress-relieving effect on people. It lets us to calm down and get a break,. Music also elates people and makes them put their problems behind them for a little while. Listen to music can make you feel motivated to do something, that’s why always at the gym everyone works out with their headphones on.
3. One of the best methods of increasing work efficiency for me is: not having to much on my mind at the same time. I am not good at multitasking, so I just avoid it, so as to fully focus on one task, make it done properly and be able to take another one. I also mute my telephone in order not to get distraced if I get a message or notifications on my social media.
In general, in your case the situation is the opposite. It's also good. But still, you try to use it during physical exertion. I think this phenomenon can also be attributed to increased efficiency through music.
By the way, yes, according to recent reasearch in the field of neurophysiology and all sorts of things that affect productivity, it was concluded that multitasking is not the best way to solve everything at once. Therefore, you are on the right track. Good luck!
2. Maybe not necessarily about the impact on the human body, although once I heard that some gardeners play music to their plants to grow faster.
3. In my opinion, we should first of all ensure comfort at work. There should be nothing around us that can distract us and I think this is half of the success. In addition, I recommend everyone to sleep, eat healthy (remember that we are what we eat), and as mentioned in the article - I also recomend listening to the music when learning.
It derives from our mood but also influences our mood. It is strong tool for affecting it.
I've heard that music has healing potential.
I use procognitive supplementation. Drinking yerba mate, eating healthy food, doing sports and getting good amount of sleep will increase work efficiency too.
Yes I do. Not only the classical music, any music without anyone signing does the job while working. Words in songs tend to make you focus on them and distract from what you are doing.
2. What other influence of music on the human body do you know?
Music can actually can influence a person in very different ways, depending on genre. It can make one be relaxed, but also energetic or even angry. It really comes down to the choice of music type.
3. What methods of increasing work efficiency do you usually use?
As I mentioned before, music without singer is great for me. Also, complete silence makes me very productive.
It depends on what I am working on, if it is about science, I do not listen to music, because sometimes it influences me especially when I have the solfeggio and ear training habit, which means my brain is easy to get distracted to decode the melody to musical notes subconsciously while listening to music, I guess other music students have same situation too. If it is about some simple work, I used to listen to music and it increase my productivity.
2. What other influence of music on the human body do you know?
There was a scene in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" made me very touched, In the scene, Andy was detained, and spent a full month in the dark room. After he came out, his companions asked him how he spent it. Andy answered "I Have Mozart with me". I guess this is also Mozart Effect too, it helps human body to keep positive.
3. What methods of increasing work efficiency do you usually use?
I guess I do not have any method, I am not into coffee, what I can do is not to be distracted by phone or other activities during work, and of course I have to sleep enough.
2. It depends on the human. Music can have relaxing effects for ones or work energetic for the others.
3. I usually try not to focus on my phone and social medias but on my work. I turn off Facebook not to be disrupted by messages. These are my main methods of increasing work efficiency.
Yes, I always listen to music when I work or do anything, because then I work lighter and more pleasant. However, if I need maximum focus on any command or element of a task, then I need complete silence, because music can then distract me and interrupt my fulfillment of my duty - this occasion happens quite rarely, therefore I like to listen to music during work. However, I don't listen to classical music, I prefer something more dynamic, lively, necessarily having vocals.
2. What other influence of music on the human body do you know?
I know that many people listen to music for relaxation, when lying in bed or even falling asleep to facilitate this process. Others listen to music while exercising in the gym, or while jogging to give themselves energy and a pleasant time. Others, like me, listen to music while playing computer games, which gives a sense of superiority over others and adds strength and increases skills during the game.
3. What methods of increasing work efficiency do you usually use?
Good ventilation in the workplace is crucial for me, my brain needs good oxygenation, and if it's missing, I'm very sleepy and absolutely unproductive. Secondly, coffee or energy drinks stimulate me a lot, which helps me achieve my goal faster. As I mentioned, music is a very good helper at work, as well as sometimes complete silence, thanks to which I can reach the peak of concentration.
70s: scientists from the Swedish Music and Therapeutic Society found that the plasma of plant cells under the influence of music moves much faster.
Well, in general, there has been a lot of research on this topic.

2. Surely therapeutic !. Music is good for the nervous system, calms down, reduces stress which is too much anyway.
3. It's hard to say. I certainly listen to music, I often take breaks (this is very important) and probably all in all
2. I think that the most important and well-known feature of music is that it helps us relax and clear mind after intensive work. Unfortunately, no other examples come to my mind at the moment.

3. What methods of increasing work efficiency do you usually use?
I listen to shitty music. I really enjoy listening to crap – it helps me with my mood, I instantly cheer up and automatically my productivity increases.
1. I used to try this method, but I prefer to work/learn in silence. In my opinion it doesn`t work for me. Every noise is distracting my attention.
2. Music brings emotions. It is relate with memories and feelings. There are a lot of songs which makes me party or on the other hand there are plenty of songs who makes me sad. For example the sad memories of funeral or ex-girlfriend. The affect is huge.
3. I do not have any method. I just need to find a desk and quiet place. I like to make pauses and breakes for 5 minutes. It helps me work longer and maybe more effecitve.
2. I know that music helps creative people find inspiration. I guess if I would be a painter or a sculptor, I would work listening to music. Also, music helps to relax and reduce stress.

3. When it comes to learning, I prefer being alone. I don't like when someone disturb me.
the task or memorizing things then music is distracting to me. But when I just do
some automatic actions without too much thinking about them, music is a nice
addition.
2. Music helps in relaxation. Before or after a stressful day it’s really nice to put
headphones on and just calm down. It can change our emotions, makes us
happier or sadder. It can also be very motivating, gives energy. Not without a
reason people listen to music while running or working out.
3. I don’t have any special methods. To work efficiently I need silence and calm so
I try to ensure myself these conditions. I usually work at home so I lock myself
in my room, ask my family not to disturb me and mute my phone. Then I can be
the most productive. What is more, necessarily I must be rested. Without it I
can’t focus on my work and everything lasts much longer.
2. I don't know what influence has music in general at the human body. But I can say that music have a huge impact on my emotional state and can suppress or enhance my feelings.
3. I don't have any specific methods. Coffee, music, and lack of distractions - that's everything I need to be efficient enough.
I wouldn't say I listen to increase my productivity but more likely that I do it to focus more on work than on people around me. Music helps me isolate myself from others to let me do my job.
2. What other influence of music on the human body do you know?
I haven't heard about any but I always thought that music has a great impact on people.

2) In some strange way music touches our soul. When I`m sad music helps me to feel a little bit happier. Of course there are different types of music, some of them can make you sadder.
3) If I`m working – it`s already good. So I simply do what I should to do. I don’t use special methods to increase efficiency.
2) That is a fascinating topic to researh, but sadly I'm totally clueless about it.
3)Get rid of everything that can break your concentration on the topic. And by everything, I mean EVERYTHING. No phones, no social networks, no excess of drinks, so you have to go to the toilet, no noise, no people who may be able to bother you... I think the point is clear enough.
Yes I do listen to music to increase my productivity, but sometimes it doesn’t work or makes it even worse because I concentrate on the music and not the task.
2. What other influence of music on the human body do you know?
It can really affect our mood, for example listening sad songs when you are sad makes you even more miserable, and listening happy music can really brighten your day.
3. What methods of increasing work efficiency do you usually use?
I don’t have any specific methods. I don’t know if you can call it a method but I try to work at night because I’m much more productive, there are almost none distractions and it’s really important for me because I get distracted really easily.
