Music is a huge distraction while working. White noise or nothing. Some people on my team listen to podcasts while coding, and most of them were watching Cohen's testimony in the background on Wednesday. If they're not fooling themselves about their productivity, I'm really jealous.
- jobigoud 8y agoFor me it's "nothing". My home office is very calm but if I need to dive into something really fully and feel like I'm in my own bubble, I use a pair of big ear muff normally used in construction industry or other high noise environment (31dB noise reduction). It's like sensory deprivation just for audio.
