I like listening to music. I can’t concentrate with silence, my brain starts going off in a million directions. I can’t write narratives with podcasts.

Depends what I’m working on. For some things I prefer complete silence and other things some light soft music.

I can’t concentrate on silence either. I listen to music without lyrics or a book / podcast I’ve already heard before

White noise!

Relaxing type of music without lyrics.

Future Bass or Dubstep

1. Music (instrumental / deep house) for motivation / momentum and for manual / mundane tasks
2. Silence for writing / thinking / deep problem solving
3. Tibetan monastery ambient music with thunderstorm music to calm anxiety
