You should be listening to video game soundtracks at work

As I write these words, a triumphant horn is erupting in my ear over the rhythmic bowing of violins. In fact, as you read, I would encourage you to listen along--just search "Battlefield One." I bet you'll focus just a bit better with it playing in the background. After all, as a video game soundtrack it's designed to have exactly that effect. This is, by far, the best Life Pro Tip I've ever gotten or given: Listen to music from video games when you need to focus. It's a whole genre designed to simultaneously stimulate your senses and blend into the background of your brain, because that's the point of the soundtrack.
