What drives you to get to your books each day and get your studying done?

I share some of the best answers to this question I've come across recently, to help get you inspired, and perhaps give you some ideas to find (or deepen) your own sense of purpose.

"Is it OK to listen to music while studying" is the #1 question Alix and I get asked when we're out running revision workshops in schools.

It's a great question, because so many of us LOVE to have a bit of music in the background!

But is music going to distract you?

Or on the other hand, is there evidence for any benefits to listening to music?

Join me as I take a look at what the evidence says, and offer up some top tips for how YOU should best think about using music while studying!
