    Motivation
    I have just noticed on another thread that someone suggested music to motivate you.

    What song works for you?

    I have never really thought of music to help before so I dont have one.

    What are your suggestion?

    Music only distracts me

    Classical music played on low volume, i use this for background noise instead of motivation. I don't listen to anything if i'm reading though.

    Try sound tracks to movies instead of songs with actual lyrics because their less distracting.
    Sounds sad but twilight soundtrack or 'twilight -the score' was put on my iPod by a friend and I found it made great background music to focus but not distract

    I find that singing and dancing like an idiot to anything fun and energetic with a healthy dose of cheesiness (like wake me up before you go-go by wham!) really gets me in a good mood and makes me more productive

    I tend to listen to light ballad on a playlist, played at a low volume!
