I’m not saying that Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, and Mozart wrote background music. Certain qualities of their music, though, prevent the brain of someone with ADHD from getting distracted and interrupted. I’ve written all my books to Bach and company.Now I’m discovering what’s behind the music. Through the twists and turns of life, I met Will Henshall, who was a successful rock musician in England. But that was then, in the 1990s.
Working with his team of sound scientists, Henshall put together a vast collection of music engineered to engage the part of your brain that usually distracts you while you work. To do this, he had to remove the most interesting and arresting parts of the music. He said to me, “When I was a rock star, I worked my butt off to make my music so engaging you couldn’t not listen to it. Now I do the opposite. Instead, the music casts a spell over you.
I love focusatwill! It definitely works for me.
