At my place of employment, I seem to be the odd man out. On any given day, there are 5 to 10 people programming at our desk. All of them seem to be able to focus deeply. I, on the other hand, have immense trouble with distractions such as TV. Why would TV be a distraction at work? Oh, there are 5 large screen TVs within my field of vision. Often the sound from different TVs is slightly out of sync so I can't ignore it, no matter how hard I try. I end up using ear-plugs and try to raise my monitors to keep moving pictures away from my eyes. The joys of working on a trading desk!
