TIP OF THE WEEK

Erik

I use it daily, brain.fm. It’s science-based music, designed to get your brain in the wavelength that you want to get it into–quickly–to focus, study, destress, sleep. I love it. I’ve been using it for years now. This is a secret hack to get me to the zone and keep me there. There isn’t anything else that works quite like it for me. Focused@Will is another good one.
