Drs. David Yuratich and Richard Bowyer have taken time out from their academic work to share which apps help them focus in their work at the Law School.

If you’re looking for a gentle background noise to help you concentrate, one app we’ve enjoyed is Coffitivity. Here you can choose soundscapes such as Morning Murmur, Lunchtime Lounge or University Undertones.

Or if you’re looking to stretch out in between revision chunks, one free yoga app we’ve tried is Yoga with Adriene

If you’re looking to focus on your work and need a reward at the end of it, have you tried the Forest app?

And finally, music can be a great way to switch off from the world around you and dive into your revision. A few years ago Professor Joasia Luzak created a special playlist on YouTube for her Contract Law students, with songs such as ‘Why’, ‘Bills, Bills, Bills’ and ‘Don’t let me be misunderstood’.
