I like to think regularly how music helps me to get into the right mood.
I think music allows me to create the correct mood for the work I need to do, adjust it a little or keep that mood I'm already in for long time.
For me the point is to pick the correct music for the correct task and the mood it requires. I have some playlists prepared to do the job.
I will choose my playlist depending on:
The mood needed for the task
My current mood
I'll pick the correct playlist to move my mood from the point I'm to the point I need to be.
If I'm so excited or anxious and I need to do a high decision tasks, I need to calm me down, some chilling music will do the job like solo piano calm songs, If I some sleepy but I need to have things done, some electronic will work great!
Sometimes is not possible for me to jump two steps of mood at a time. I need to play some in the middle for a while and after some time go for another step.
Related to types of music, instrumental music works very well for me and more lyrics songs only if I listened so many times that my brain doesn't pay attention to these lyrics.
And there's another thing that works very well for me. Silence! There are times that silence is the only thing that works for me!!
