Why not just have the tv palying in the background? Works for me.
- tsumnia 4y agoWhenever I visit for my parents for holidays, they have the TV playing something. However, I've always found the ads incredibly distracting, like they're intentionally designed to get my attention.
- curiousgal 4y agoNetflix with a show you've seen multiple times?
- mrleinad 4y agoThis works for me.
- zach_garwood 4y agoI've heard others say that as well, but for me the presence of another body and the explicit silence is really soothing.
- curiousgal 4y agoSet the tv to mute?
- andybak 4y agoI can't code with anything else going on - except very limited forms of music.
- CSSer 4y agoDoes distant/muffled coffee shop music fall under limited forms? I’m like you but I’ve found lately that this works for me. I’m beginning to suspect the fidelity of modern consumer speakers and headphones are just too good for focus because they seize my attention. It makes me wonder what would happen if I tried an EQ that cut bass/mids. My problem is that “focus” music is often pretty repetitive. It can drive me nuts if I listen to it for 8 hours.
- pxmpxm 4y agoSame - for music specially, absolutely no vocal lyrics.
- acuozzo 4y agoIt doesn't for me, unfortunately. My productivity skyrockets when my wife is around, especially for tasks involving physical labor.
