Brain.fm is designed by neuroscientists and psychologists to create music playlists of any length that help you focus, relax, or sleep. Here’s a free month.

TLDR: Putting on headphones can block out everything so you can work. Brain.fm is what to play through those headphones.

Staying focused while working—especially if that work is creative—is a challenge. Putting on some headphones and cueing up the right music can help by blocking out distractions and noise and giving your mind purchase. But managing the music playlist can quickly become another distraction. Brain.fm not only handles that but it does so by delivering music that’s scientifically designed to improve focus and creativity. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks and it has saved my day from lapsing into unfocused procrastination a dozen times already.

I just choose “Focus,” tell it how long I want to work for, and it plays music for precisely that amount of time. So it’s great for building breaks into a workday, too.

There are playlists designed to help you relax and sleep, too. I plan to try those next.

There is a free three-day trial. But click here and you’ll get a free month.
