@mahsimadastan Very interesting choice of Eric Clapton - curious, what about his music helps you work?
(I'm a guitar player and love Clapton btw, just was unexpected to see!)

@jefffajans So nice man. I'm really love Clapton's works
Not when tired, it only gets me distracted.

Totally depends on mood. I’m weird and play dramatic cinematic trailer music to get going lol. Sometimes I listen to some funky jazz for a fun days work.
Yes, mainly piano/jazz music without any voices to avoid too much distractions.
There are multiple playlist on youtube with pomodoro timers that include the required breaks to avoid any burndown and have high quality focused time
some light music, no vocals at all. works wonders. but sometimes still silence

Sure. Infected Mushrooms, Becoming Insane ;)
It depends on my mood

Oh, yeah. Currently listening to “A Watchful Guardian” theme by Hans Zimmer on repeat.
I’m a big batman freak 🤓🦇
Sure do for most tasks, unless it is talking to customers. :-) Deep House, or something else non intrusive. Sometimes one song in a loop, time really flies then!

@pixelpirat Absolutely! Deep House for the win in the productivity game. One song in a loop, creating that time-warp effect—now, that's a power move! Do you have a favorite go-to track that becomes the anthem for your focused work sessions?
@istiakahmad Changes week by week, Atzepeng by Paul Kalkbrenner is an old time classic for me. An entire go-to album would be Tumult by Meute for me as a brass band covering deep house tracks is just epic :-) Whats your go-to track?

Yes, I mostly listen to long lo-fi music playlists

@mahsimadastan do you mix it up or play the same playlist over and over?

+1 for Lofi and techno :)
Depends on what I am working on, when doing coding work which I just need to type down I really enjoy listening to Lofi Hip-hop and other music. When I face a problem I need to focus and concentrate I pause my music as it gets distracting.

I listen to music non-stop while working. I listen to a lot of Hiroshi Yoshimura. Great if you like ambient or new age. This album of his was just reissued:
Yup! Gets me into a good deep work state. Mostly techno actually 😅

@nicolaas_spijker Techno for the deep work dive—love it! That steady beat must set the perfect rhythm for focus. Any favorite techno tracks that are your go-to for getting into the zone?
@istiakahmad Here's one of the lists I listen to :D

Personally got a lot Jan Blomqvist, Avoure & Massano for my own lists
Lancepilot
@nicolaas_spijker Solid playlist choices! Checked out your list, and it's fire! Jan Blomqvist, Avoure, and Massano are absolute gems. Thanks for the musical recommendations; my ears are in for a treat! 🔥👂
@istiakahmad Hope they help make your days more productive, and if not at least you have some new tunes to listen to! 🎶
Sometimes.

@darren_chen what do you listen to?
I do, until I hit a bug or some other task that requires actual focus and then I shut it off immediately lol

Yeah I think for me it’s a must most of the time because it puts me in the zone but sometimes Netflix, Disney or Apple TV+ series would do.
There Is A Tool For That
Yes, it's a good focus tool I find myself listening to Rajasthani folk music.
When I'm working and needing to focus, I typically listen to Housewerk on Spotify

Or some sort of binaural brainwave alpha/theta type of thing if I am going for a more chill, relaxed focus
