Productivity Music

I hear rock and metal the most, but many times I get tired and listening slow bits. Balands are helping a lot.

I used to listen to the Goo Goo Dolls' album Dizzy Up The Girl. That really got me focused. I've long-since lost the album, but I know I can go to Pandora and start with one of their songs (or a different one) that helps me focus, and create a channel of similar music. It's pretty hands-free, unless you really dislike something. And their choices are usually very good.

I suggest you try with www.hemi-sync.com

I find singing distracting, when I am writing or programming. But I like to listen to music while I work and the kinds that work best for me are classical music, trance or electronic music.

Electronic
Klaus Schulze
tangerine dream esp phaedra, rubicon, richochet are my favorites.

Trance
Stuff by Nik Fish, Bexta mixology series, the british platipus series. Hard NRG (yellow especially, its available from amazon.)

trance is dance music so it might be distracting too. depends on what you're doing.

Classical music
Handels water music and fireworks are really good for work.
I find Mozart very bland, but its good background music.
Beethoven is just too good so impossible to listen to without getting distracted by it.

Hi there,

I think I have a little bit of ADD because I can't seem to focus on work and listen to music at the same lol. If I really like the music and I'm into it, then more than likely I won't be able to concentrate on my work.

I would suggest instrumental music or music that is not your favorite genre so that you won't be distracted.

Sometimes what I do is listen to free online radio stations at work - particularly those that are in different countries so I'll here music that's new to me.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Kim :)
