Work with or without music
 

Do you "need" to listen to music when your working, or are you one of those, who can't concentrate if there's a music in background?

I "need" it. On work i'm not allowed to hear to music and i can see a big difference when working at home while listening to music

I can concentrate better. It drowns out all OTHER noises (other than important ones. Obviously parents are blocked out, lol). But if I get to a job in the field that I want that is well, completely against music of any sort, I might be screwed.

Great thread!

For me, when I'm working on a multi million dollar project and I have to concentrate more, I need total quiet. If it's just day to day stuff, than I listen to music, usual quiet loud though. Although a few times I should have been able to hear a few things and take action. My staff is about 50/50, some listen a lot some need total concentration. We were just talking about this the other day. I've noticed that anything thing to do with a large amount of money and I need total quiet.

Thanks again for a good topic.

music, in my BIG headphones... and LOUUUUUDDDD

i need to get rid of the kids which are surrounding me all the time.

For some reason I can't... I just hit the keyword as fast as I can, always doing at least 3 different things...

p.s. vB is just for relax ;)

Usually have the news on in the background. No need for music. Only time there is music on is if my wife is home and puts it on.

I like to work with music on, or the news on media player in the 2nd screen

I don't need music, it all depends on my mood..but normally I do have music playing softly in the background while I work.

I work so much better with loud music...
And i don't get bored...
I've got these cheap but very good headphones that i bought for $10... they're awesome. When at max volume, i can't hear my girl screaming at me... perfect :D

Ditto.
