      I think this is a really good answer. Just search for a focus playlist on whatever platform and let it run.

      If I’m picking out music more specific, I find myself thinking about that, and what it’s like, and if it’s helping, and maybe I should hey this other album or artist.

      Don’t let picking the music distract too much from focusing on what you want to do.

    Nils Frahm’s Felt, or the soundtrack to Victoria

    Atomos or the self titled album by A Winged Victory for the Sullen

    Almost anything recent by Carbon Based Lifeforms but Alt:01, Alt:02, or Stochastic especially

    Loscil is great but not a single album stands out though Submerz and Endless Falls are smooth

    Hammock’s soundtrack for the movie Columbus

    Brian Mcbrides The Effective Disconnect

    I would recommend Stars of the Lid, but they are too sleepy for me. However, when Brian Mcbride and Adam Witzie do their own thing it is usually less sleep inducing-

    I just added a bunch of classical to a playlist and then removed the occasional piece I found distracting. I still use that playlist when I need to focus.

    Don’t do albums or long playlists, because every time it ends you’ll realize time has passed and you’ll stop studying. Instead pick a song or two or three and just play on repeat so you lose track of time. But if you must, then Toxicity by System of a Down.

    I like listening to video game music when studying. I heard somewhere that game designers use their music to keep you playing their game and lose track of time and hyper focused.

    Use something mellow in a different language from your own, it is less distracting.

    I like to listen to brasilian Bossa Nova like this Getz/Gilberto Album

    Or something without lyrics like Yiruma if you like Piano music.
