Does music helps you concentrating or aids as distraction??

Music helps me relax. It ease my pain and help me cope with stress. I can affect my mood. It can, sometimes, make me cry or happy. I prefer listening to music when I have a problem or trials. It help me think or calm my head from thinking negative consequences or possible things that might happen into my life.

It depends on the type of music for me, if it has lyrics i am likely to be distracted by it, i tend to listen to dubstep or hardstyle without many lyrics when i want to concentrate or focus!

When a job needs deep thinking and planning, I prefer not to be disturbed by any sound at all. I can work more efficiently when the environment is calm. It helps me focus more on the things I am concentrating on. The only time that I like music to help me energize is when I am doing housecleaning. Most especially on Sunday mornings. It keeps me moving and that way, I enjoy listening to sounds and enjoy doing my chores too.

It depends on the type of work that you are doing. Some things are so interesting that music becomes irritation while doing those things. Sometimes you do want to add some music to your work. Call it crazy or whatever, but when I was in high school I would do my homework while playing music.

Lying back in your room, under the ceiling fan, playing some soft ambient electronic music while reading a nice book is something that is beautiful, in this case music is fun to listen to while doing something else.

Well music relaxes me only when i am driving it makes me more concentrated but for manny music is a distraction.

For me both, If I am the one playing it and I control the music to play and the volume then yes it helps me in my work, especially when I'm already full of ideas and then put it with "hard metal pumping music" it boost my energy.

But when I'm in the phase of brainstorming I never listen to music. It distracts me in thinking.


And if it is someone else playing the music and so loud, especially in my neighborhood where in my neighbor plays his stupid musics so loud I get distracted and annoyed, like when I am watching news or my favorite series.

And sometimes even at the start of the morning they already start playing there worthless stupid songs again and again.

Music just distracts me a lot while I am studying or concentrating on something. I need pin drop silence to concentrate fully.:Tounge: However I had a friend who could study even with loud music pumping... Dunno how! :Tounge:
