Some facts.
- I like listening to music while I work. I do not find it distracting. I find it helpful in making me Do Stuff TM.
- I do not like wearing headphones. I don’t like having stuff on my head. I don’t like being closed off from the sounds of the real world.
- I’m at the TV office today, where I can’t reasonably use the ghetto-blaster-boombox that I have sitting on my desk.
A consequence:
- Foot tap, tap, tap, bounce, bounce, whistle, hum, tap, tap, bounce, tra la la
I also like to listen to music while I work. I do enjoy silence but find it destracting while working or studying. I don’t even hear it when I’m reading.
But I am glad I’m not sitting next to you
Just be thankful you’re not subjected to KFM all day.
@nant: tee hee. tap, tap, tap.
@aki: gah, I’m surprised your brain hasn’t turned to mush!
We have much the same dilemma at home. For a while there we had separate studies, and all was well, but curses, there we had to go and have a baby and kick Armin (who cannot work with choons) out of his study and into mine. Mind you nowadays I don’t dare listen to music for fear of not hearing baby wake up…
Interesting fact: it’s all to do with how your brain is wired up. Me, see, I have audio hooked up to theta brain state (relaxing, info being gently assimilated). A has it hooked up to beta (info absorbing) and so he can’t NOT actively listen if there is music. (There is also alpha, info sorting.) Interesting.
Aw, alien parasites, they even mess wit yo moosik.
Re interesting and brains: hmm. That’s my next half hour gone while I goggle brains. Note to self, remember: “brain beta theta -zombies”.
