instrumental bar jazz.
make sure your headphones are set on noise canceling.
find somewhere quiet (or loud, whatever.)
i can't stand reading and listening to people talk, this mitigates such displeasures.

If my computer is open in front of me during a lecture i will be texting/fucking about. Occupy your hands and let the class become podcast!!! If something pricks ur ears jot a note. Now that I’m teaching I wish more of my students would do this, bc i know they’re just online shopping 😔

I saw a quote somewhere that read “Silence is the language of God,” and a couple of days later my AirPods finally stopped working. I interpreted this as divine intervention, and began experimenting with quiet in various scenarios and settings.
I’m typically the type of person who has some sort of music/podcast/video/voice in their ears at all times, and frankly I believe it was stunting my ability to think freely and withstand discomfort. I was beginning to feel that I was almost cheapening the media I consumed by multitasking, and I am hoping to renew my imagination and sense of mindfulness/presence by developing a better relationship to Quiet.
I am training myself to listen to the naturally occurring sounds of my own existence rather than drowning out the world all the time. So far so good.

if you’re running a minimum of 25 minutes late to class (i am running 45 today), why bother showing up to class when you can avoid the embarrassment altogether.
this is vital during the beginning of the semester, because really, the syllabus walkthrough could have been an email.
don’t make this a habit though.
i just have really bad anxiety.
