Background music while working? it helps focus

[manuelmarino]

Hello, did you ever tried to listen to background music while working? it helps focusing. Anyway, I'm subscribed in many music services and I create and listen to playlists. Music is fantastic as a relaxing tool and focusing tool as well. Your experiences?

I find myself more productive when listening to audiobooks, podcasts or youtube video essays/documentaries (or whatever they’re called). As long as it involves someone rambling for hours, it’s good for me. 

If I randomly stumble across a song that I love, I’ll just loop it and let it play for a few hours while I work. But in general, music does next to nothing for me in terms of productivity. It’s for fun. The specialised playlists for “studying” or for “work” that you can sometimes find on youtube just lull me to sleep.

I tried but found out that background music - even relaxing one - makes me nervous. I still don't understand why

I listen to "tananaaaaa tanana nanaaaaa tananaaaaaaaaa ooo" It's soothing and helps me work...

I usually listen to intense violin music. Pumps me with huge amount of energy
