For those who work from home. Do you prefer silence, music or are you happy to have the TV on?

I go between music, lighthearted podcasts and terrible reality TV that lets you zone in and out. I don't like silence, it's harder to concentrate in. Anyone else struggle to work in silence?

Silence is a gift. If you can’t concentrate without noise, that’s a discipline issue. Podcasts and TV are distractions — you’re multitasking badly, not working smarter.

I’m the exact same- I like a mixture of different things but nothing that will distract my attention
