I’m definitely a fan of having background noise while I work! I’ll usually have a podcast or music on, but TV is a bit too distracting for me. It’s nice to have something going on in the background though, makes the workday feel a little less lonely! How about you?

Glad to see someone sharing the same idea as me!

If I'm doing something kind of mindless and boring sometimes I'll put on the radio. But I find that listening to something can just be too distracting. It's a little frustrating because I have a ton of stuff worth listening to on my phone, but not enough time to enjoy it all.

Nice! I listen to audible!

I'm a little torn on this one - I find it easier to concentrate simply on the task at hand, but I also have tinnitus, so I've found more recently that having more background noise allows me to concentrate better, even though it's not my "norm"!

Sorry to hear that! Thanks for the feedback!
