A neuroscientist has claimed the key to instant focus might be as simple as pressing play on the same song every time you need to concentrate.
Friederike Fabritius, author of The Brain-Friendly Workplace, swears by Bach’s Goldberg Variations as her go-to brain-boosting ritual.
The idea is to train your brain to associate a specific piece of music with deep focus – creating a mental shortcut into ‘flow’ mode.
Experts agree that calm, structured music (like classical) helps many people focus, though the best tune can vary by individual.
