It helps me to keep my concentration on the activity on hand, makes me focus more on my studies, and gives me some pretty brilliant ideas while chattering to myself; more importantly, I produce better works.

Don’t get embarrassed admitting it because science has discovered that those who talk to themselves are actually geniuses… and not crazy!
