Whatever your job, unless you are a flame swallower, there’s guaranteed to be moments of monotony where you check the time more than once in a five-minute span. This moment, which usually falls in the sleepiest part of the afternoon, we like to call the “clock watch.” It’s the time when the radiator is humming louder than usual and you hear the crinkle of candy wrappers desperately opening around you. While some of us can’t get past these moments, there’s always that one coworker who’s merrily typing along at 2:30, contentedly humming along to music. According to some of our most productive coworkers, here’s what’s going on inside those magical earbuds.

The Soothing Coo of Song Birds

Chances are, your office is not located near any sweet-singing birds other than squawking pigeons or pelicans attacking each other. We’re talking about birds à la Snow White. But it doesn’t have to be just birds. Any nature sound that is not a distraction can work great: a powerful waterfall, a peaceful brook, or an exotic rainforest. Just watch out for those baboons! They can be loud. Here is a great resource to connect your soul back to nature in the office.

Alien Music

Otherwise known as ambient sound. This is the kind of “white noise” that some people use to help them sleep. It can sometimes sound a little space-aged, or a little spa-like. Music without lyrics will help you focus on things other than seeking the intentions of the artist. The intention is to make you focus! Check this 2.5 hour soundtrack out.

Mozart Madness

If you’re going to go old school, go to one of the oldest: Mozart. The old Wolfy has been known to boost the brain activity in the right side of your brain, actually inspiring more creativity. The longer you listen to classical music while you work, the more of a difference you’ll be able to notice. A good place to start is his Sonatas.

Hot Jazz

The fast licks of the popular gypsy jazz manouche style are just enough to get your heart racing. We love Bireli Lagrene, whose wicked-quick fingers make us want to move. This kind of jazz is great, as opposed to slow, contemplative jazz. That might make you want to fall asleep at the bar.

While listening to music can be a great way to stimulate your brain while you work, it’s important to keep it in the background. We guarantee your coworkers will not appreciate you singing karaoke at your desk. Be sensible. Listen responsibly.

Despite the fact that late-stage capitalism is an amoral hellhole driven by a borderline religious belief in the sanctity of brands, we would never, ever suggest that anyone should shoplift from big-box stores, or even imply that doing so is morally okay or a victimless crime. But hypothetically, if we were to give any tidbit

The Momager May Be Worth More Than You Think… Kris Jenner is a pop culture icon for many reasons. While you may have watched her meteoric rise to fame on Keeping Up with the Kardashians — which originally debuted on E! — she’s actually been a fascinating figure in the public eye for ages.  As

In the 1980s movie Little Shop of Horrors, the protagonist Audrey fantasizes about owning a house of her very own.

The Kar-Jenner family is loaded thanks to their business prowess (and fierce momager, Kris Jenner.)

I can’t remember who gave me this personal finance hack, or, rather, advice: but one juicy tidbit was that I should keep a balance on my credit cards and that it would up my credit score. I’ve even wiped out the balance on a credit card debt and then purchased something that I slowly pay
