Do you listen to music while working?
I usually listen to binaural beats, or sometimes classical music.
But music with lyrics is hard to work with for me😂

No, I can't concentrate if there is music or tv in the background. I love working in silence like a proper boring loner 😂

@simona_o_neill3 Oh yes TV is a real distraction. And what about listening to a single tone?
@maurizioisendoorn I guess that may be nice as long as it's not too mellow so it puts me to sleep and not too upbeat so it gets into my brain lol
I usually do. The type of music generally depends on my mood. From the past few weeks I am listening to this Nuvole Bianchi track my friend recommended:

@armaan_sandhu26 I think you might be interested in checking out the launch of my application, which combines the topics of mental well-being and music🙂

all the time actually, i feel that my headphones are part of my body at this point. Music really helps me to concentrate. Even rn when im writing this comment , i listen to music!
Yes, I often listen to beats or classical music. I also like electric music for simple and monotonous tasks.
I usually work with music playing in the background. But when I need to think a lot, it’s easier to think in silence.
Same here! Music keeps me going while I work. I do about 6-7 hours most days too. I definitely need tunes without lyrics to stay focused. I usually listen to Ben Böhmer's type of stuff when I need to focus.
Depends on the task. Music can be great for some types of work but not good for others. Ages ago I wrote a paper and did a talk on how music can affect your mood, focus, and ultimately performance.
I think there have been "studies" about this since then, showing that it can enhance performance in certain areas, but for deep work requiring a lot of focus not so much
Sometimes yes, but it does highly depend on my mood. At times just putting on noise-canceling headphones works OK. 👍
Yes, but I can also easily find it distracting! I remember that when I was designing NewSub (I published it today actually) I was in the zone and I could spent a considerable amount of time listening the music. Now that that creative process is kinda frozen, since we're focusing more on launching and metrics, I need to focus and therefore, no Pink Floyd music for me. Anyway, hope to count with your vote and your signup on NewSub! :)
Cheers!
Always. It's hard to concentrate for me without music, especially since I work in an open space and it's rather noisy around me :D
Depends on the tasks. When I need to be creative I have to concentrate me without music
