Psychedelic Music & Productivity?

At a recent trip to Goa this February for my wife’s birthday, came across the HillTop Music Festival which was happening nearby to our resort, but couldn’t attend it as we had our kiddo accompanying and kids were not allowed, plus the passes were sold way in advance as I believe it happens only once a year and people from across the globe come here just for this.

Fortunately, the after party was happening right next to our resort & we could see it from our balcony. It was so tempting as the music could be heard so loud on the entire hill. And I took along my wife and kiddo & joined 100s of people on the beach. As the party place was full with 1000s inside (Again we wouldn’t be allowed in anyways).

And it was an experience that I will never forget! All the people dancing & lost in their own world. Of course, most of them were high on drugs as I could see.

And I couldn’t dance or couldn’t immerse myself so much as it was a different experience & I was just coming to grips with it.

Fast forward, once I came back to Bangalore, I googled a few Psychedelic Songs & started listening to them. I saw a change in me. I saw a pattern that I was being more focused at work, more productive than before.

And I identified it quickly, and then every morning, when I’m on the way riding to office, I would put on my earphones and ride in a way slow but steady and focus on few key activities that I had to get through the day..

And it became a habit. I would listen to it, say even for 5-10 mins a day & I could get back that focus..

Currently, I’ve moved on ahead of this & can focus well without it as well, maybe I used it as hook to get started :)

Just shared my experience.

Hope you like it but please use it in a positive way.

In no way am I telling you to do drugs, booze, etc.

Just music, whichever genre works for you! :)
