Hey hunters!
Personally, I enjoy listening to music while working and I think it improves my productivity.
What about you? Does listening to music at work improve your productivity?
By the way, I really like listening to a playlist curated by my team (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1b951C1oyVXSooIseWOXi8?si=0c48e2fb00c340af&pt=7bf014f58d89e9a80c14d4724ec64130). If you have your favourite workflow playlists, share them in comments!

Yes!!! Put on your headphones and crank out the work. Music increases my productivity immensely. My wife laughs at me as I will be listening to metal while reading contracts. Helps me concentrate (for some strange reason).

@michael_feeley For me it would be hard to concentrate while listening to metal haha. But it's great that it helps you! Thanks for sharing!
I prefer to work in silence because I mostly like party music only.

I love listening to music when I'm working. But it has to be instrumental music or new music for me. If I know the lyrics, it's not going to work!
@mimih_arteaga @daryakhmetova Same here... at those times, I prefer other language music
If I know lyrics, i am done. My mind auto-tunes to lyrics and there's no way I am going to create content

@mimih_arteaga Yes! I often start singing along so I also prefer listening to instrumental music
No, I also prefer to work in silence.

@jason_andries1 Totally. I also need music for a type of mood or task like more active and energetic or calm depending on my needs.
ReSkript
@jason_andries1 Yes, I always try to find the music that corresponds with my mood and a certain task I need to perform
I always like the idea of working with music on and depending what I’m doing it can have the desired effect. But then, I’ll switch to a different task and it seems to get in the way. Odd

@mattski2000 Yes, I always search for the music that corresponds with my mood and a certain task I need to perform

I usually prefer to work in silence, and sometimes I love to work at a cafe. But at a cafe, the next table's gossip can be quite distracting. In that case, I love to listen to low-fi music to block out noise.

@kiracheung Yes, music could be really helpfull to block all the outside noise

As someone who loves music, I have found that it can definitely help me to work better in some situations. Specifically, I have found that listening to jazz music while I am working on tasks that require creativity and focus can be incredibly helpful.
The soothing and relaxing tones of jazz help to calm my mind and allow me to focus on the task at hand. It also helps to block out any distractions or noise that might be going on around me, allowing me to work in a more peaceful and productive environment.
However, I have also found that jazz music is not always the best choice when it comes to strategic thinking or problem-solving. In those situations, I find that silence or more upbeat music is a better fit.
Overall, while music can certainly be a helpful tool for increasing productivity, it is important to select the right type of music for the task at hand. For me, jazz works well for certain tasks, but not for all.

@hemantwarier Yeah, I totally agree. It depends a lot on the situation. I prefer to listen to music when I am in the process of crating content. But at the same time I always work in silence when collecting the statistics

@harsha_vardhan01 Thanks for sharing!
@harsha_vardhan01 That's true, your productivity increases when you are stress free.
Yes, definitely.
Yessssssss!
But when I need to be more serious and need deeper thinking, I prefer silence.
Aaply
For me it's a no :(
Lo-fi beats and other relaxing stuff are way too boring for me, and songs with any kind of lyrics take my whole attention. So I prefer working in silence.

@sonya_key_ Yeah, it could be the case sometimes especially if you know the lyrics well
Great question! Hope you don't mind if I use that as a poll (at https://oipolly.com)?
No, not for me.
I prefer to work in silence. I got to finish a lot of things without background noises/music. :)
Yeah definitely. But it depends on the mood.
Music kind off distracts me and doesn't lets me put my 100% into the work i am doing so i prefer to listen music as a leisure activity
I prefer to work in silence

Depends on music. I prefer lofi )
I do work in silence but if I need some meditation or need some energy music is really a plus point
