I seem to change my mind depending on my workload or mental space. I usually start with silence in the mornings, but after a few hours, I'll pick one of my many playlists and let it loop the rest of the day.
Today feels like a 90's jams kinda day!
I traded music for audiobooks a long time ago while driving or exercising, so deep work time is my only music time now unless I'm with others.
The type of work decides the type of music.
Lots of things. But high tempo electronic music gets me focused whereas ambient music keeps me going when I’m a bit tired. Listening to shoegaze classics right now…
As a dentist, I often listen to calming instrumental music or podcasts related to dentistry and oral health. This helps me maintain focus during procedures and stay updated on industry trends. Creating a serene atmosphere benefits both my concentration and the overall patient experience.
