There’s something about putting on good headphones during a stressful time that really shuts out distractions. It’s like stepping into a bubble where everything else fades away.
What’s your go-to ritual to get into “the zone”?

Yes! There are a few songs that can transport me to another dimension when the first note hits. I wouldn't say it puts me in a zone, though. More like zones me out entirely 🤣 The best thing to put me in the zone is a big ol hot coffee.

Totally get that! Some songs take you out of the chaos, while coffee snaps you into focus—perfect combo honestly. Music to block out the noise, caffeine to lock in.

This one. Headphones in, some obnoxiously loud electronic playlist going on YouTube, warm cup of coffee in hand. Shutting out the outside world makes it so much easier for me to focus and stay productive.

Yes! There’s something so powerful about that combo—loud music, coffee, and tunnel vision. It’s like creating your own little productivity forcefield.

That all depends on what kind of zone I want to go into. If I'm just trying to relax, putting in the Pixel Buds and zoning out on some music I love will do just fine. If I'm trying to be productive, music is too distracting. In that case I find the zone silently.

Totally get that—different zones need different approaches. Sometimes silence is the only way to really focus, while other times, music is the perfect mental reset. It’s all about matching the vibe to the task.

I can't wait for things to get back to normal. For my kids to go to school. To see my family again. To travel overseas and explore. To not worry if I accidentally bump into someone. I feel like my kids are missing out on the magic of school (they were in kg and 1st grade when the initial shutdown started). I didn't get to see my nephew and niece since they were born, haven't seen my sister in 5 years (our family reunion got cancelled this summer). That is all. Hoping for a better year.
