Something I discovered that helps me with focusing on work is listening to something without words. Lyrics tend to get me distracted (call it ADHD or whatever). I want to look up what the song says or means or whatever.

So I have recently started listening to movie soundtracks. Its a great way to have some kind of noise in the background without lyrics. I created a playlist with some of my favorite movie soundtracks. Albums like Star Wars, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and the Pirates of the Caribbean are all in there. Sometimes I’ll hit shuffle so I get a different song from a different album every time. Sometimes I’ll listen to them in order. Just depends on the mood I’m in. If I don’t want music, I will throw on Dark Noise.
