    @thomgroutars these are mine (mostly electronic music) https://open.spotify.com/playlis... https://open.spotify.com/playlis... https://open.spotify.com/playlis... Or in general classic/piano music and since quite a while I love Nils Frahm and Ɠlafur Arnalds

    @thomgroutars I'm a big fan of listening to WESTWORLD soundtrack: https://open.spotify.com/playlis.... Familiar songs, but no lyrics so you can focus.

    @thomgroutars if I need to focus a while, Crystal Castles always gets me there => https://open.spotify.com/playlis...

    @thomgroutars FIP radio http://fipradio.fr/player - super eclectic music interrupted by occasional traffic updates in sexy French voices, with "careful attention paid to smooth and unobtrusive transition from one song to the other".. Jack Dorsey (Twitter CEO) is a regular listener and calls it the best radio station in the world (https://twitter.com/jack/status/...)

    @thomgroutars Girl Talk - All Day: http://illegal-art.net/allday/ I've listened to this album exclusively while doing deep work, so now it puts me in 'the zone' almost immediately when I start listening to it.

    @thomgroutars I go to YouTube and put in ā€œTop video game RPG soundtracksā€. Iā€™m not a gamer anymore but the sounds help to keep me focused for a long period of time.

    @thomgroutars I've been building this one for a while. I'm not sure what all of these tracks have in common (I have thought before that it would be a fun python project to see what it is exactly that makes them all work so well), but any time I come across a song that seems to focus me and has no distracting elements (i.e. lyrics or random rhythms or pitches) I add it to the list. Enjoy: https://open.spotify.com/playlis...

    @thomgroutars I recently started listening to Nature Sounds on Spotify because music with lyrics distracts me - it is pretty good. Otherwise I will listen to classical or something like Sigur Ros. šŸ˜Š
    Ola King
    @thomgroutars More like a genre, but ChillWave is my favourite. This never ending stream on YouTube is amazing
    Also, Odesza's A Moment Apart album is magical for late-night work

    @thomgroutars @ola11king should've scrolled before posting. This is my go-to as well. freeCodeCamp also had a stream for a while but it doesn't seem like it's active at the moment.

    @thomgroutars I discovered this list a few weeks ago: https://open.spotify.com/playlis... Became one of my favorites :) My only problem is, that after a while, it makes me sleepy :D

    @thomgroutars I think that depends on the type of work being done and what mood you are in. After three coffees the last thing I want to listen to is some chillout beats! I do prefer non-vocal tracks as I find that breaks my focus more often. My large non-vocal work music collection of albums [130hrs+]. https://open.spotify.com/playlis... Other times when coding I want a very loud, high-bpm, focus-flow style. https://open.spotify.com/playlis...

    @thomgroutars silence. Scientists proved, that any music distract you attention and people less productive listen music. So, I stoped listen a music during work. Sometimes I use Calm Mediation App. They have a very soft background music and nature noise playlists.

    @roman_sevastyanov You're probably right on the attention/focus side of things! On the other hand, music keeps me motivated for longer periods of time, and also makes me a happier person on the whole. Maybe it doesn't work the same for everyone, would love to see that research you're mentioning!
