Does music help you to work better?

No, I also prefer to work in silence.

I prefer to work in silence because I mostly like party music only.

I love listening to music when I'm working. But it has to be instrumental music or new music for me. If I know the lyrics, it's not going to work!

Yes, definitely.

I always like the idea of working with music on and depending what I’m doing it can have the desired effect. But then, I’ll switch to a different task and it seems to get in the way. Odd

I usually prefer to work in silence, and sometimes I love to work at a cafe. But at a cafe, the next table's gossip can be quite distracting. In that case, I love to listen to low-fi music to block out noise.

I listen music to get extra boost....and get rid of stress...with out stress the productivity will be more...and yes it helps me to work better

I prefer to work in silence

Yes when i am tired music make me calm to work better

As someone who loves music, I have found that it can definitely help me to work better in some situations. Specifically, I have found that listening to jazz music while I am working on tasks that require creativity and focus can be incredibly helpful. The soothing and relaxing tones of jazz help to calm my mind and allow me to focus on the task at hand. It also helps to block out any distractions or noise that might be going on around me, allowing me to work in a more peaceful and productive environment. However, I have also found that jazz music is not always the best choice when it comes to strategic thinking or problem-solving. In those situations, I find that silence or more upbeat music is a better fit. Overall, while music can certainly be a helpful tool for increasing productivity, it is important to select the right type of music for the task at hand. For me, jazz works well for certain tasks, but not for all.

For me it's a no :( Lo-fi beats and other relaxing stuff are way too boring for me, and songs with any kind of lyrics take my whole attention. So I prefer working in silence.

Great question! Hope you don't mind if I use that as a poll (at https://oipolly.com)?

No, not for me. I prefer to work in silence. I got to finish a lot of things without background noises/music. :)

Yeah definitely. But it depends on the mood.

Music kind off distracts me and doesn't lets me put my 100% into the work i am doing so i prefer to listen music as a leisure activity

Depends on music. I prefer lofi )

I do work in silence but if I need some meditation or need some energy music is really a plus point

yes.
