Music is something I really love listening to while working 🎧

I usually play it to stay focused and also to block the office, colleagues talking, and other surrounding noises. It actually helps me get into my zone.

I usually start with slow music to focus, and put on headphones to one ear on low volume. It works really well, and when I feel the need to pick up speed or energy, I switch to faster music.

But honestly, sometimes I can’t tell if it’s helping my focus or becoming a distraction 😅 like I end up paying more attention to the music than the work itself.

Wonder if anyone else feels this? And how do you balance it — music for focus, or complete silence for deep work? What is your way?

Appreciate real experiences, thank you
