I do like listening to music while I work. What type depends on what I’m working on and how I feel. If I need to concentrate or read, then it has to be instrumental. If it doesn’t require a great deal of concentration then I can listen to music with lyrics.
I use either Amazon Music Prime or Apple Music on shuffle (6,565 songs currently in my music playlist).
I listen to music the vast majority of the time. It depends on what kind of mood I’m in and how much I need to concentrate on the task at hand (if I have to concentrate I avoid anything with lyrics). Hip hop, drum & bass, classical, soul, lofi are mostly what I listen to (on spotify subscription) or the odd mix on soundcloud. I mostly find a song I like and use the spotify radio lately.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions and input.
There is an eclectic mix of songs and approaches out there.
I think for concentration I’ll try music only and maybe an upbeat tune for the afternoons to help drive thru that PM slump… Let’s see how it goes
