This is super nerdy, but I listen to Bach's violin partitas when I need to write. I trained myself to write to those particular songs - like Pavlov's dogs. It helps me with other intense deadlines, too.

Her role at Site Smart has shifted, and she is now a Web & SEO Project Manager. Rebekah loves the process of helping sites rank online and the investigative nature of SEO.
