RE: Workplace aural accompaniment (was RE: Telecommuting ...)

["Weissman, Jessica" <WeissmanJ -at- abacustech -dot- com>]

Speaking for myself alone:  I find instrumental music (string quartets, jazz, classical piano) useful for concentration as it seems to attract the attention of some component of my brain so I can concentrate better.  Vocals are too distracting, and working without music leaves me too open to ambient distractions.

When I was still programming I was much more productive while listening to music than I was without it.
