It\u2019s kind of funny.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re programmed to want music in the background for everything.<\/p>\n

Every single college roommate I had would blast music as they took a shower.<\/p>\n

Walkthrough a library or coffee shop and almost everyone that\u2019s working has their headphones in.<\/p>\n

And if you go to the gym without headphones, people think you\u2019re a\u00a0psychopath. I actually got asked once why I didn\u2019t have headphones in at the gym.<\/p>\n

Even as I\u2019m writing this blog post in Starbucks right now, I\u2019ve got my AirPods in.<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t get me wrong. I\u2019ve got nothing against utilizing some tunes to boost your productivity.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where the problem starts\u2026<\/strong><\/em>
\nWe become so reliant on music, that when we can\u2019t use it for one reason or another, we feel like we can\u2019t perform.<\/p>\n

And there are so many other examples of other things like this:<\/p>\n

Needing alcohol to feel social
\nNeeding coffee in order to be in a good mood in the morning
\nNeeding our workspace perfectly organized before starting work
\nAnytime we become dependent on something in order to execute, we need to take a step back.
\nNow back to the whole music problem.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve started doing recently\u2026<\/strong><\/em>
\nI take a day off of music each week.<\/p>\n

I do a day with no music for my work time. And then I also do a day with no music for my workout in the gym.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no need to eliminate music entirely.<\/p>\n

But once or twice a week is enough to keep me not reliant on it.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s nice to just let my \u201cinner beast\u201d out.<\/p>\n

Do you think our ancestors threw on their headphones and got pumped up before they went into battle?
\nJust something to think about.<\/p>\n

Do you feel like you\u2019ve become too reliant on music? Or perhaps there\u2019s something else that you\u2019ve become a little too dependent on?<\/p>\n

Thank you for your time reading this! Stay tuned for more\u00a0 \u00a0I\u2019ll be posting daily (or close to it) with helpful insights on productivity, business, and life.<\/p>\n
