Creating music playlists can be a fun task, collating all your favourite songs into one place where it is easily accessible. Having multiple playlists is perfect way to tailor your music depending on your mood or environment. In the lead up to exams or coursework, I always create a new playlist full of songs that make me feel relaxed and puts me in the \u2018zone\u2019 to ensure my work is done. So, here are my top tips for creating a new playlist and ideas on how to maximise your study time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the Right Music<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the music can be an arduous task especially when you don\u2019t know what tunes to put in your playlist. The aim of a playlist is to help you cultivate the mood you want so that the playlist becomes a tool for your studies. It can be easy to put in all your favourite songs however, it can become like a club mix you\u2019ll find at any old party. In my playlist I include artists such as Jessie Ware, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lana Del Rey and Janelle Mon\u00e1e as the slow tempo of their music and genre fits perfectly to help me knuckle down. In fact, sometimes I associate the songs with certain topics I need to remember so they act a memory tool too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting on a \u2018LoFi\u2019 playlist can help with studying too. LoFi stands for \u2018Low Fidelity\u2019 meaning that there is less production than the music you may regularly listen to and contain a relaxing blend of hip-hop, jazz and \u2018dream pop\u2019. The music provides a nice relaxing feeling especially when doing stressful tasks such as revision and is a nice placeholder if you don\u2019t know what to put on but need something in the background. I recommend this 24-hour livestream<\/a> on You Tube but you can also search for LoFi playlists on Apple Music and Spotify too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, looking at other people\u2019s playlists on Spotify or online can be a good way to gauge what other music people listen and get inspiration from them and you can also find various videos with sounds i.e. coffee shops noises and rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listening to Your Playlist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you\u2019ve chosen your songs and made sure your playlist is the best as it can be, how to listen to it is the next decision you need to make. Trying to find the right song to get you started can be half the battle, but you\u2019ll feel relieved once you\u2019ve found it. Whether listening through your speaker, headphones, phone or vinyl (\u2026fancy!) the volume needs to be correct to. If it\u2019s too loud you might not be able to hear yourself think but it it\u2019s too quiet you can get distracted by other noises. Try to focus on your work with the noise in the background. It can take time to get used to it but having the association of certain songs with revision can help you settle down when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are a lot of elements to making a revision playlist, ensuring the context and songs match, it is a fun task. If you need background noise to focus, setting the environment with a playlist can help relieve some of the stresses exams can cause. So what are you waiting for, give it a go today and see how it can work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
