Hey, coffee friends! I hope you've had a relaxing Sunday 😁

Drinking coffee is definitely one of my favorite things in the world, but it's not my best hack when I want to stay awake, focused, and/or alert.

That'd be listening to music, but not the kind that makes me relaxed like jazz or classical music.

If I need to finish a book or watch a film, or do anything that demands my full attention, I just avoid multitasking and go for a big cup of espresso. But if I need to finish checking papers late at night, I'd listen to songs by Coldplay, Queen, Kimbra, Bad Religion, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Beyonce, Sean Paul, Caravan Palace, etc... songs that have touched me deeply because of their rhythm, lyrics or their funny references give me tons of energy ⚡

Excellent motivator to stay alert, music helps a lot in these cases, but it works for me to a certain point, then I have to drink coffee 😅☕☕☕ To be alert and very active.

The last picture with the cat is beautiful, how I like your cat, or lady cat? I also love music, sometimes when I'm alone and no one is looking at me I put on some rock music to motivate me and start singing 😁.

Music can be exhilarating ❤️

The cat is a girl; her name is Horacia. She turned 8 three weeks ago; she's been with me since she was born 😌

Oh, yes! I love her. She's Flecha's daughter. They're both with me now, on the sofa because it's raining a little.

I suck at multitasking, I can't listen to music and read as my attention would be divided as I would be busy listening to the lyrics of the music instead of focusing on whatever I am reading or doing.

It happens to me if I am producing in oral or written form, but if I'm passive, checking papers, no problem; I remember I could play with my son when he was little while I was checking papers or revising my own texts. Anyway, multitasking is something I try to avoid most of the time in the last years, as I've learned it isn't good for my long term memory; it's better if I focus on ine single thing, but everything depends, at least in my case, if I'm procuding or receiving info. Coffee will save us all, I guess 😂

Oh friend, I hadn't thought of that, but you're right, music is very stimulating too. Even in my housework it inspires me, nothing like cleaning the house with music blaring 😁!!!!

Ah, you do that too! 😄 I like old merengues (60's-80's); they are perfect to make me forget I'm my own cleaning lady in an old big house.
