I've tried that... Doesn't work for me in most cases. First, because after
wearing the headphones for, say, an hour or so my head starts aching, and
second because it's the noise as such, not some special noise in
particular, I can't stand most of the time. Music works well if I have to
proofread, or index, my writings, but if I have to create new stuff, it's
too distracting.
No, I'm the my-very-own-office type. There are disadvantages, e.g. not
getting some information in time, but for me these are the lesser evil.
