GEORGE: I can\u2019t get it out of my head. I just keep singing it over and over. It just comes out. I have no control over it. I\u2019m singing it on elevators, buses. I sing it in front of clients. It\u2019s taking over my life.<\/p>\n

JERRY: You know, Schumann went mad from that. He went crazy from one note. He couldn\u2019t get it out of his head. I think it was an A. He kept repeating it over and over again. He had to be institutionalized.<\/p>\n

GEORGE: Really? What if it doesn\u2019t stop?<\/p>\n

JERRY: [Gestures] That\u2019s the breaks. \u2014Seinfeld,<\/em> \u201cThe Jacket<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I won\u2019t say that I present the picture of mental health or anything, but most people would be surprised to find out I harbor a habit that hints at deep insanity.<\/p>\n

I listen to the same song over and over again. Alone in my office, or on my iPod, or on my phone, I play them on repeat over and over and over again. Loudly.<\/p>\n

In my iTunes library there are\u00a0certain songs of an embarrassing nature<\/a>\u00a0that I have played more than 300 or 400 times in a row (that is a full 24 hours each). I\u2019ve gone through so many computers over the last few years that I don\u2019t have an accurate tally, but if I were to add them up, the numbers and the songs would seem preposterous, even to me. They are my version of the backyard shed, covered in incomprehensible gibberish in\u00a0A Beautiful Mind<\/em><\/a>, or the wall in\u00a0Carrie Mathison\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0apartment after a manic fit. And then I wake from my stupor and discard the songs like used condoms and pretend it never happened.<\/p>\n

As a result, I no longer enjoy \u201cmusic,\u201d a fact that the 16-year-old version of myself\u2013the one who was in a band and had hard drives full of rare music\u2013would have found unthinkable. God knows, I never thought I\u2019d find myself 142 listens in on a Taylor Swift song on a Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

But there is a method to the madness. I found that this secret habit has been the fuel for\u00a0my creative output<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

See,\u00a0part of writing<\/a>\u2013or really any creative endeavor from brainstorming to marketing\u2013requires tuning everything out. There are a couple ways to do this. You have your noise canceling headphones or ambient noise machines. You can put your phone on \u201cAirplane Mode\u201d or tell everyone to leave you alone.<\/p>\n

The problem with these reductive techniques is that they leave everything a little empty. In my experience, it\u2019s not about quiet, it\u2019s about finding your zone.<\/p>\n

I think melodic music, played on repeat, puts you in a heightened emotional state\u2013while simultaneously dulling your awareness to most of your surroundings. It puts you in a creative zone. The important facilities are turned on, while all the others are turned off.<\/p>\n

Sometimes \u201cgood\u201d songs can help you with that. But Bruce Springstreen only has so many songs that work for this (Try \u201cI\u2019m On Fire<\/a>\u201d). You exhaust them soon enough and have to start listening to songs on the Top 40. And you stop caring who wrote them\u2013as long as it brings you closer to that state.<\/p>\n

Michael Lewis<\/a> (Liar\u2019s Poker, The Blind Side, The Big Short<\/em>)\u00a0has spoken about this too<\/a>. Writing a book\u2013or really any major creative project\u2013puts you in an \u201cagitated mental state.\u201d It\u2019s hard to sleep, it\u2019s hard to concentrate, it\u2019s hard to be present in everyday. But you can\u2019t afford that when you\u2019re\u00a0actually working<\/a>. He fixes that by\u00a0doing the following<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“I pull down the blinds. I put my headset on and play the same soundtrack of twenty songs over and over and I don\u2019t hear them. It shuts everything else out. So I don\u2019t hear myself as I\u2019m writing and laughing and talking to myself. I\u2019m not even aware I\u2019m making noise. I\u2019m having a physical reaction to a very engaging experience. It is not a detached process.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You might ask, can you accomplish this by listening to music like a normal person? I would have thought so too, but the answer is no. Repeat on the same song or the same two or three songs allows the songs to fade into themselves\u2013to become a more or less a continuous stream. The reason I gravitate towards radio singles is that they normally have big, catchy choruses. The idea is that after enough listens to song becomes a perpetual chorus.<\/p>\n

Time stops. Distractions stop. Extraneous thinking stops. (Proof of which is the fact that you\u2019re not bothered by the fact that the song is looping every three minutes and thirty seconds.)<\/p>\n

All that\u2019s left is the work at hand. All that\u2019s left is that little voice inside your head that you\u2019re attempting to hear and translate onto the page. All that\u2019s left is\u00a0the book or the paper you\u2019re reading<\/a>. All that\u2019s left is problem you\u2019re trying to crack when you go for a walk. All that\u2019s left is the workout you\u2019re trying to complete.<\/p>\n

The bullshit\u2013well, it disappears for a fleeting second.<\/p>\n

Creative work isn\u2019t about pleasure. It\u2019s not always fun. It\u2019s about reaching something inside yourself\u2013something that society and everyday life make extraordinarily difficult. This is one way to do it.<\/p>\n

The fact that it basically ruined music for me is a cost I am willing to pay. I\u2019ll take my fix from anyone\u2013and I\u2019m not ashamed to say that I have. Even if that means I have to listen to the Black Eyed Peas or some other god-awful group.<\/p>\n

Every writer (or painter or thinker or adman) finds their own way. This is mine. Maybe it will work for you. Or maybe you\u2019ll try it and never look at me the same way again.<\/p>\n
