Brain.fm has Unlocked my Productivity
What I’ve learned over the last 5 years of focussing
I’ve written about Brain.fm before. It was featured as one of my 5 Audio Focus Profiles. And no, they haven’t paid me for any of this, but I will use my referral link in this article.
But I wanted to take a second to dive a little deeper to see what it is about the service that has really unlocked my productivity in the 5 years that I’ve been using it.
Early Days
After digging through my emails, I found that I started using brain.fm way back in 2016. To be honest, I’m not sure where I first heard about the service. Likely on a podcast or blog of someone I admire who claims to be productive and focused all the time. The tagline for the service in the early days was “Music for the brain”. Seems like a concise way of putting it.
I’ve always considered myself to be a fairly creative person. Like most creative people, I need to feel comfortable in order to create. Whether it’s writing, designing, producing multimedia content, whatever. It’s important for me to feel “in the zone” or “in a state of flow”. Those phrases do get overused, but in 2016 I was in search of something to help me concentrate and feel that focus. Brain.fm fit the bill.
