This is great for two reasons: 1) The non-lyrical music helps the brain focus 2) People see the headphones on and are much less likely to disturb.

I have done some self-introspection and checked myself whether do i really set daily goals.Back came a reply from my consience which is shocking to me.I realized that my conscience has been reprimanding me and advising me for the past 22 years to think high and it knows that the thing which stops me from doing so is having some junk and stray feelings always which breaks my concentration. Now,my conscience is more clear after reading this. Thanks to the author. I got some relief after reading this.
