While I totally agree on the dangers of multitasking, I found a certain genre of music to help me to get into a flow state while programming and thus massively boosting my productivity.
- jolmg 7y agoWhat genre is that? I tend to listen to different ones, but no one genre manages to get me into the flow every time.
- mnemnc 7y agoProgressive psytrance. What's interesting is that a lot of other genres of electronic music (which have similar characteristics) don't have the same effect on my productivity and ability to concentrate.
- jodrellblank 7y agoI'm not too surprised; I find a YouTube mix of an hour or two Psy Trance or Psy Breaks to pass incredibly quickly. Classic trance gets a bit dull, EDM is too engaging. It's even more effective than thunderstorm or "train in the rain" soundscapes, just as long as it doesn't have much in the way of lyrics.
- scanny 7y agoWhy would you not go on to state what the genre was after establishing it as the focal point of your comment?
- mnemnc 7y agoThe focal point of my comment was that I disagree with music (always) being a distraction to you primary action.
