Music

If you don't have a graduate school playlist that you update periodically, I strongly recommend you develop one. Suggestions:

* Soundtracks from movies about (allegedly) brilliant people.

* Soundtracks from movies about strong people.

* Motivational songs.

* Songs that help you relax and focus.

* Even songs about writing! - https://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/20-best-songs-writers-writing-ultimate-writing-mixtape

And if you don't like music, I don't know what to tell you.

Well, maybe I would tell you not to play music while you write and to disregard this post.
