How I Work To Music and 15 Songs I Work With

I love to work to music.  I almost don’t even care to what genre or song I’m listening.  Of course, music is a highly personal choice.

While sometimes I listen to Pandora or another Internet radio station for variety, I also have a selection of my favorite albums at hand which I pick out like tools depending on my mood and my current task.

Here are three of my most common tasks and 5 songs that I associate with that task.

Authoring/Writing:

Jack Johnson –  I wrote almost my entire thesis to his early albums in a coffee shop.
