it’s GREAT

I listen to music that requires attention. Background music to me is not music. So you can just turn on some ambient sounds or binaural beats, the result will be better.

I need it

It depends...

It works great if I'm doing

- creative work like stockphotos

- promoting my online digital products

But if it is something that take me to new learning curve. I prefer silent environment.

Anyway ... If you like smooth and steady beat of background music. Try mine

I’m way more productive with music

What kind of music?

its pretty varied. metalcore, classical, edm

now imagine if you were making music not coding

you’d never get anything done

and that’s my life

When the bpms and the caffeine hit😮‍💨👌

depends on the task and also depends on the BPM.

Minimal music (with minimal changes and high repetition works for me, as it does not take too much focus away).

And for some reason the Ghosts from Trent Reznor, NIИ is my ultimate emergency focus medicine. 🙂

depends of the works

I prefer talk/podcasts. But it depends on what type of work. If it’s routine/repetitive than talk. If it’s work that requires complex thinking then nothing so as not to get distracted.

Probably depends on what kind of work you’re doing, how you’re feeling. I feel more productive with music but occasionally I have to turn it off to focus.

For every occasion there's a song!

That didn’t work for me while working a job that requires concentration. I see others doing it and smh.

Did you try psychedelic psytrance?

I find new music to be distracting, but playlist of my favorites works. Too much active listening on new stuff and it becomes a distraction.

I don't listen to music. I mean it can be playing but once i am locked in i don't hear it anymore anyway. I used to have music all the time but then figured out i don't really notice it anyway.

Artists inspire artists

I listen to music while working, but usually instrumental stuff. That is the good stuff, honestly speaking.

It’s gad, sorry I mean bood

For me, yes—music (of different types) can impact my mood in so many ways. It can boost or change it, and it’s a big part of my life. Recently, I’ve been getting deeper into Hz frequencies, and now I’m wondering whether it’s actually possible to listen to my favorite songs in 432Hz 🤔
