Think back to what you were saying. If the music turns off, what's wrong here? What's happening? And that's actually like hold music. That was the rant I was going to go on before about hold music, where when we're on hold somewhere, we anticipate music. And when it's not there as this cue, we think we've been hung up on.

So we're so ingrained to have music be a part of our everyday lives, whether it's in an elevator, in a store. And so with that three to four hours, If we even take just 20 to 30 minutes, even less, two to three songs a day and say, hey, I'm going to attach this song to focus. Or especially if you're a family and you have young kids, it works really well to have songs be cues.

Hey, when we play this song, it's going to signal shoes and socks on, jackets on, and let's go out the door. And so those songs can, again, through that repetition, become this cue. And the three to four hours...

then it's not just in the background, which music never really is background because like I mentioned, our neurons are firing purposefully according to the music, whether we realize it or not. That's why if you're writing, it might be harder to write when you're listening to music with words. It might be harder to focus if you're listening to Death Leopard versus classical music.

And so that three to four hours is really staggering, but let's put some of that intention behind it.

So in the 1960s, this is one of my favorite stories, you know, switchboard operators. And the story of hold music on phones happened because a switchboard operator accidentally crossed the cable with the local radio show. And so the person on the phone was all of a sudden hearing the radio instead of being switched to where they were supposed to go. And so all of a sudden...

The hold music was patented in the 1960s. It still is under the same patent. And it's really become the signal now in our everyday lives of hold. You know, there's a 1989, there is a Cisco hold music. It's one of the most famous pieces of hold music out there. That's probably what you've heard on repeat. But there's all this research behind the type of hold music nowadays.
