Day in day out, I listen to a endless array of music, and in many different styles. There's a few records in the past few months that have been on my playlist just about daily.

Admittedly both strange music choices for the working day, but these two movie soundtracks — Inception and Tron: Legacy — have given me countless hours of productivity.

Despite simply sitting at a computer, writing code or coming up with designs, these movie scores seem add a sense of urgency into whatever I'm doing, as if there's an audience watching and I'm disarming a ticking bomb.

I have found this also applies to day to day tasks like cleaning the house or doing dishes. So next time you're feeling a bit unfocused, give it a shot.. You'll thank me later!
