From earning our riches, being successful, to finding love and living a happy life, the soundtrack behind our manifestations is key.

Why Procrastination Can Help Fuel Creativity – BBC

There’s strong evidence that creative insights need time to percolate – and that the right amount of distraction may be key to innovation.

Psychologists seem to agree with strong evidence that creative insights are much more likely to occur after a period of “incubation” – in which you focus on something entirely different from the job at hand, while your brain works away behind the scenes. This could include taking a walk, doing household chores or having a shower. Even our procrastination at work – such as watching funny YouTube videos – may be helpful for our problem solving, provided it is done in moderation.

Which TV Show Really Is The Best Ever? – CableCompare.com

TV is a frequent topic of conversation. “Are you watching any good shows?” is a regular conversation starter. It always seems that if we talk about TV long enough, we wind up having the “what’s your favourite?” or “what’s the best show ever?” conversation.
