Can you really work while listening to music?
Having ADHD also, I can only perfectly focus if there is silence. Luckily I have over ear headphones that do noise cancellation when nothing is playing.
- ilc 3y agoEveryone is different. What works for one person, doesn't work for another. Even for "normies" this is true. We all forget this. Medicine is often an art as much as a science. As far as my ability to work to music... It beats office noise, and I have always had tinnitus, so... total silence is actually bad for me. Background noise saves me.
- beardedmoose 3y agoWith myself it depends on the task and genre of music. I often turn to music without lyrics if I really need to focus as it drowns out distractions and doesn’t create one itself.
- btilly 3y agoThe style of music matters. For example lyrics kill my ability to think. For a long time I thought I couldn't. Then I found lots of playlists of pretty good music. Try https://www.programmersmusic.com/ https://www.programmersmusic.com/ and see if any of those styles work for you. Note, I now find that music helps me focus, but lessens my creativity. So I only sometimes use music.
