Idea

Many of us like to listen to background music when we are working on anything which involves creative processes like painting or writing. There are certain music styles or ways to listen to music which help us to focus. I’ll describe a couple of these.

How?

Listenonrepeat

One of my favorite tools for focusing is a website called listenonrepeat which lets you repeat the same music track unlimited times. This service is using youtube as a source, however, feel free to use any music player which supports looping of the same track.

Joining a technology conference is always interesting. Joining a two-day conference with 600+ founders, 1000+ students, 250+ corporates and 200+ investors is inspirational on many levels. Even if I would have joined a couple of talks, the mindset of these entrepreneurs is amazing. They are the ones who try and try until all the pieces of the puzzle fit into place. They are the crazy ones. The trouble makers. They are the ones who question today to change tomorrow.
