When the work starts getting real repetitive I find myself zoning out like crazy. Do any of you listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks to stay focused? What’s your go-to for staying engaged when it’s a long day of number crunching?

House/EDM music if I’m not reading and just ticking and tying, scrolling thru state returns. It will help you wonders. If I’m reading, no music so I can concentrate.

I started doing this lately too.

I listen to severance innie mix

I have sports talk radio on unless I really need to concentrate. After a while it’s just comforting background noise.

I find that listening to anything just destroys my focus. If there's background noise, office bustle or whatever, that's not a problem. But anything that I'd be drawn to listen to is just too distracting. I find that brief breaks, even five minutes of walking to get a drink of water, can clear out my head and let me get back to a focused state.
