Something we can all relate to is procrastination.  Leaving something to the last minute, staying up all night to finish up a project, we've all done this and it seems that this habit gets worse with time.   Most of us would rather  do other things  such as: hanging out with friends, playing games, or sleep rather than read, do homework or our chores.

How does procrastination build itself, you ask?  Well, lets just say my mom asked me to clean up my room but instead I decide to watch television and told myself I will just do it tomorrow. 

Tomorrow comes and your mom is upset and tells you to clean your room before doing anything else, when you start your friend calls to go to the arcade or hang out but you can't because you procrastinated and in turns made you miss out on a fun time with your friends.   Procrastination can affect your relationship, education, work and life.  Try not to tell yourself "I'll just do it later" soon enough later would be now and you would have so much to do and not enough time.

In conclusion, you shouldn't let wait till the last minute, procrastination will catch up with you in the near future.

Studies have shown that studying while listening to music is beneficial to assist students engagement in an activity and relieve stress.

However each person has a different taste and a different ways of studying, for some, rote memorization is most practical, while for others it may be easier for them to learn through examples and questions.

Not all music genres work for this practice of music and studying.

For example, listening to Metallica or heavy metal music while studying will probably not relieve your stress or engagement in your studies.

Music that may work for improving your concentration while studying or reading are: Bob Marley, classical music, or music genre that carry a slower beat and "lighter" sound.  It will help to relieve stress, so you can concentrate more on what you are studying. 

Good luck!
