I cannot work without music. But it can be distracting when you try to focus. What do you recommend?

When I need to focus, I usually listen to lo-fi hip hop playlists; they have the perfect balance of rhythm and calm without being distracting. It's like having a cozy, productive bubble around me.

@tim_yang2 thanks. Lo fi hip hop really sounds like a good balance. Will try. Any favorites to recommend ?
When I need to focus, I usually turn to instrumental music or ambient sounds, as they help me concentrate without the distraction of lyrics. It's like having a personal soundtrack that keeps the outside world at bay, allowing me to dive deep into my work.

I love listening to movie soundtracks. It helps feel like my working day has a story arch and kind of romanticizes the working day. What kind of music do you usually listen to?

LoFi works for me, but I also noticed I am very productive when I listen to Kasabian for some reason 😅 Also if my current task doesn't require a lot of brainwork I would have a podcast or audiobook on
