Brain Coma? Listen to Music.

Based on my first few weeks at Kidd, I have some advice to offer readers. One of our recent tasks was to write a news release. Easy enough…I have done about a million of them. However, we were also recently tasked with creating a plan for an online YouTube contest. I was stumped. What’s more is that we had to create brochure copy for GovLoop. For this task, I was even more confounded on what to do. When this happens, I call it a brain coma; it simply freezes and refuses to work.

I have found in past jobs, the best way to get my brain working again and remember it does have good ideas, is to listen to some music. You never know what some artist may be singing about to give just the inspiration you need. For myself at the moment, it is Joss Stone; she has that burst of oomph in her voice to get my brain out of its stupor. However, I would also recommend John Mayer or Jack Johnson for some quiet stimulation. Whatever works for you!

They say music stimulates the soul. Well…that may be true, but for me it stimulates my brain.
