Classical Music for Your Life's Playlists

When it comes to creating playlists for daily and weekly routines such as going to the gym, studying for next week's exam, walking your dog, reading, and even balancing your checkbook, like a fingerprint, everyone has their own unique taste in music. However, most of us agree that listening to loud, percussive, and lyrical music while attempting to focus on the task at hand will result in a distraction and error filled performance, but listening to the same music while exercising can be invigorating and energy creating.
