 | | What's on Your Creativity Playlist? | Our brains are hard‑wired for music. We're naturally responsive to rhythm and rhyme, and music helps us enter a state of flow, which in turn allows us to tap into more abstract levels of thinking. In other words, music helps us be more creative.
We asked around the office to find out what our co‑workers listen to when they're in a creative mood. Bead&Button Associate Editor Diane Jolie likes "Memphis and Chicago blues and Tom Waits." Show staffer Linda Kollatz is still a rock 'n roller at heart, and Show Director Sara Dumford turns to "music that surprises me with the beat or lyrics that can be dramatic or just fun, and then there is music that comforts me with its familiarity. Both put me in a place that inspires."
But Jane Bremmer's answer sums it up perfectly: "I love all music! Latin Zumba music, show tunes, which I love to sing along to, easy listening/soft rock keeps me in my seat and focused, country, pop, anything!"
The bottom line? There's no right or wrong music to inspire you! The music you like best is most likely to motivate your creativity.
