Music has a way of expressing that which cannot be put into words. It is for this reason (and many more) that music is regarded as one of the triumphs of human creativity―but does music itself help one to create?

Gregory Ciotti runs through how music can affect your productivity – from making repetitive tasks easier to regarding music as an escapism (the good kind) so it becomes a good way to focus.
