Yes, it's a good focus tool I find myself listening to Rajasthani folk music.
Dariush Abbasi
Yes, I mostly listen to long lo-fi music playlists
@dariubs ha, my girlfriend listens to the same lo-fi music all the time.
Mahsima Dastan
@dariubs @slimmy82 I'm a lo-fi lover also :)
@mahsimadastan do you mix it up or play the same playlist over and over?
Maria Anosova 🔥
Yes, music creates the right mood and mindset
@maria_anosova totally agree!
Mahsima Dastan
@maria_anosova which kind of music?
Maria Anosova 🔥
@mahsimadastan it depends on the mood and the tasks set
Oleg Naumenko
Not sure that everyone will agree whether it is music or not, but I enjoy turning on random dark ambient compilations 😬

@naou every day?
Oleg Naumenko
@mahsimadastan Can't say for sure, turning Youtube on to be something akin to background white noise is not that conscious and deliberate action. Not to the level of keeping track of
Khagani Bayramov
No, it totally distracts me.

@istiakahmad you spot on, my friend. I consider that this is related to the working mechanism of our brain. Normally, you can't pay equal attention to various activities at the same time. In order to get the maximum result from the work I do, I need to direct my whole attention to it. Therefore, I prefer to do my work in quiet environments.

@xaqan do you work in a completely silent place?
Khagani Bayramov
@mahsimadastan Yes. Especially, when doing hard stuff, I need silence for concentration.
Max
Yes, I listen music.
Mahsima Dastan
@mksaint13 What do you listen to?
Max
@mahsimadastan I love rock and many other genres, but when I work I listen to modern classics. Because there are no words and you can concentrate well on your work.
Svetlana
Depending on the tasks, but only music without words
AmazingSylvia
It depends, if I need to do some creative work then I will not listen anything. However, if I need to do some dirty works. I sure will listening to some musics
AmazingSylvia
@istiakahmad I love coldplay when I do some dirty work lol. You?Any recommendations?
Mahsima Dastan
@sylvia_sheng what do you listen to?
AmazingSylvia
@mahsimadastan I like Hiphop and R&B. You?
Sebastian Kessler
Depends on what I am working on, when doing coding work which I just need to type down I really enjoy listening to Lofi Hip-hop and other music. When I face a problem I need to focus and concentrate I pause my music as it gets distracting.

@setianke What about your coworkers talking to each other?
Chris Lester
Nicki minaj puts me in my flow state
Mahsima Dastan
@chrislester every day? :))
Chris Lester
@mahsimadastan all day, everyday
I've tried, but I've noticed my productivity deteriorating, and wasting most of my time on dancing.
Maria Anosova 🔥
@amorson Dancing is cool, too bad you can't always combine work and dancing ✨
Anish Sharma
I do listen to music while working, it provides peaceful environment and relax my mind....
Mahsima Dastan
@anishsharma share a playlist with me
Sofia Gertzen
Sure do for most tasks, unless it is talking to customers. :-) Deep House, or something else non intrusive. Sometimes one song in a loop, time really flies then!
Sofia Gertzen
@istiakahmad Changes week by week, Atzepeng by Paul Kalkbrenner is an old time classic for me. An entire go-to album would be Tumult by Meute for me as a brass band covering deep house tracks is just epic :-) Whats your go-to track?
Mahsima Dastan
@pixelpirat Me to Sofia
Jacopo Proietti
Guilty as charged! 😆 The weird thing though is that if I am writing something in the same language of a song that I am listening to, I have to stop the music cause I can't concentrate.
Jacopo Proietti
@istiakahmad I like Italian (my mother tongue), when I am in a chill mode, mostly checking and answering email. The rest of the time it is random music. From British rock to gangsta rap, French electro or American country. The algorithm hates me 😅
Mahsima Dastan
@jacopo_proietti so weird :)) I also joined Dokin, Hope the bests
Jacopo Proietti
@mahsimadastan thank you so much my friend!!
Joe Pacal
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I find music helps me modulate my focus and energy tbh. i.e. for mundane work I love to put on deep house or techno to entertain my brain and keep on track while it would otherwise be bored and send me to the kitchen to make another cup of tea... just five minutes after the previous one.
Mahsima Dastan
@jsph so nice
Joe Pacal
@istiakahmad hahha, poetic! I'm a fan of Christian Loffler, Ross from Friends, Girls on the Internet, Four Tet, Leon Vynehall, Romare, Jamie xx ofc, Against All Logic, John Talabot... honestly anything from these likely won't disappoint
George B. Aleesu
Sometimes, but mostly prefer working without it though. I like it quite while working.

@rhexai What about your coworkers talking to each other?
Radomir Djokovic
Yes. The right playlist can really set the mood and make the workday more enjoyable.

Mahsima Dastan

Mark Yu
