Naturally, by now a lot of us are experts in what to have on in the background that helps us focus.
I've found I need some sort of background noise to help me keep productive and on task these days.
I have LoFi playing almost all day and all night. So much that I was "LoFi Girl" for Halloween once. Which lead to a friend drawing this:
What sort of music/podcasts/white noise do you listen to while you work? Are you more of the absolute quiet type? We'd love to hear all about it in the comments below!
Also, in absence of an artist, "LoFi Girl" created a generator for everyone to enjoy! Check it out.

@Dylan Snodgrass I am usually listening to all kinds of stuff - I like having podcasts in the background a lot recently. Currently I am listening to a podcast called " My Favorite Murder"- a bi-weekly true crime comedy podcast hosted by American comedians Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark. It's pretty cool! Here is my Goth LoFi avatar I created:

My work playlist starts with Tycho's Awake album. It goes in a few directions after that, some of The XX and Massive Attack. If I've made it all the way through M83's Hurry Up, We're Dreaming album then its time for me to take a break because that means I've been at it for a few hours. If I jump back into the same playlist, things get a little slower with Jose Gonzalez but then it picks up again with Foster the People and Washed Out.
I've been conditioned to start working any time I hear Tycho. Even their other albums make me want to get something done.

@Dylan Snodgrass what a coincidence! I listen to lofi while working too. I have this bookmarked, and I usually start playing it as soon as I start reading my emails in the morning. <3

I enjoy slow and happy musical instruments. I like Jazz and I like classical, both help me focus especially when I need to read through a lot of things.
Thanks for the link to the LoFi girl generator, here is mine:

Hello classical music is great!
I recommend it to everyone, it really calms down - I'm curious if you liked it?

I am very curious about your opinion - for me such music is an inspiration:

@Dylan Snodgrass : Completely depends on the situation for me. I think my trends are something like this:
End of frustrating conference call : Rock or Metal
Day has so far been interrupted every 5 minutes : Hardstyle or beats such as The Prodigy
Deep into problem solving : LoFi or Classical or Acoustic, or what I like to call Chilled Beats - such as https://www.youtube.com/c/AHimitsu
If it is December, it just Xmas songs all month :)
