Music whilst working?
-
Anyone else listen to music while they're working?
Does your music choice change depending what you're doing/morning to afternoon?
My last boss refused to let us have any music in the office as she said it was distracting...the awkward silence was more distracting to me, and I find it easier to concentrate and work more efficiently when I have music personally...and gladly at this job they don't mind!
When I'm doing cabling, I prefer old school hip-hop/rap

I find listening to music with headphones on a bit distracting, so don't generally do it. Some of my staff do and I don't have a problem with it. Whatever people find helps them.

Yeah, I see how it can be, but I find it clears my mind of all the other stuff, and blocks out background noise from the office - I normally listen with headset half on, half off...so one ear is still listening if someone calls me etc...but working in silence is hell for me

I'm thinking of putting a radio in the office and having 6Music on. It's a bit tricky when users come to see us though, but then again, I'm trying to discourage personal visits to the IT department. People should be e-mailing us.

Find music too distracting. Plus I have office mates so don't want to be a nuisance.
-
I generally have to listen to something all day. I prefer Music over TV/Netflix. Video just tugs my attention to much. And for some occasions, the music helps me cope with the day (stress).
I'm about to turn on NPR just for some news and the Market / Tech Reports. From there it goes to Pandora for any number of channels... Slam, Techno, Daft Punk, Lindsey Sterling, Maroon Five, and some others..

I wear a headset

@NattNatt Yeah I can't listen to a single type of music all day. It would drive me insane.

100% - If I'm watching something (like the DefCon vids yesterday) then it takes all my attention...but music helps me clear my mind and focus more...

I don't even listen to music on the drive in to work anymore. I've been listening to serial podcasts for a few years now.

Sames! So far today I've had some random pop, dubstep, bit of classic 90's, slipknot and now on some Linkin Park...

I listen to music when I really need to focus. It doesn't always help though...
