my best work from home hack
i can’t believe it has been two years of working from home, as of this week. TWO YEARS. if you would have told me this early on in the pandemic, i am not sure what i would have done, but it probably would have been irrational. you see, i love going in to target’s offices. it’s fun, vibrant, and you get to work alongside some of the smartest (and most fashionable) people out there. i even got to the point where i enjoyed my commute because as a new mom twice over, it gave me time to break up my day and transition from “mom kelsey” to “work kelsey” and back. anyways, i digress.
the reason i’m writing this is to share one thing i do when working from home, especially right away in my day, that has helped me immensely. i’ve actually shared about it on here before, but listening to certain frequencies during the day helps get me in a flow state so i can work effectively and efficiently. my schedule doesn’t always allow for it, but having at least the first hour of work to crank through things and work on some of my “deep work” is ideal for me, and while i’m doing that, i’ll pop on some solfeggio frequencies in the background.
what are solfeggio frequencies?
solfeggio frequencies are certain tones/frequencies that are said to promote body/mind health. there are a total of six main solfeggio frequencies, but some sources say there are nine or even twelve. there is a whole bunch of math & science involved in how they work – check out this article to go a little deeper.
since i’m the kind of person that can only listen to classical/background noise while working (or studying, back in the day), i find that solfeggio frequencies are wonderful for me to be able to listen to while i’m working. honestly, i’ve come to find that the house is too quiet, so i’ll pop on one from youtube for an hour or so while i work on my “deep work” (or emails, tbh) and it helps me stay focused and grounded on what i’m doing.
where to find them
i usually pull them up on youtube, but you can also find spotify playlists and other ways to listen (for free!) across the internet. just search “solfeggio frequencies” or whatever htz you are looking for, and a whole bunch will pop up.
enjoy!
