We all generally love to listen music. We used to listen music when we are free. I have seen many of my friends listen music at work. Does it good to listen music at work place? I had tried once but failed to concentrate on my work for me it hamper work. What is your views? Do you listen to music at your work?

Hi Paul, In my case, it depends on two things - 1. What type of Job I am currently on - This is the most important. We all have times when delivery of services on time and with quality is needed. These are the times when I have to concentrate on work and so would not want any distraction. But when going is easy then I take the liberty if a. there are no official restrictions, b. my cop-workers are not getting distracted. 2. The second is what type of music is playing - I love soft numbers and instrumentals and they take me in. So I have no choice but stay away from them when doing a serious task. Then there are others that I cannot bear to hear... so even if they are playing during my leisure, I dont care to listen... Point here is that if you are comfortable and your organization (more specifically your job) allows then there is nothing wrong in listening to anything you feel like. Cheers, theSids.

Hi Paul, Been a long time you are away... There are plenty of new faces and good ones around. Be Back Soon... Your Boss - tell him he needs to go back to his place and let you live I wonder if your boss has a family... man it is ages he has been around. You know how much I miss you - ok, maybe I want to have some discussions on FedEx but still there is one reason at least. Take Care, pS: And yes, Thanks for the BR.

I listen to it when I am studying and when I think of certain characters from the books I read.

We have a (horrible) radio station at work. It does cause me to hate my job when all I can think is NO! I hate this song! So that does hamper my work...however, when I have worked other places that play tolerable music I do better. It makes me happy to have good music playing and I will work harder and better...while jamming out! :)

Yes, I listen to music when I'm at work. It helps me concentrate and relax when I'm under pressure. I listen to it with my headphones. There are times when I get sleepy at work that I would start listening to rock songs to awaken my sleepy mind.

I am not working yet, but yes I do listen to music a whole lot. But, only when I am studying though or there is nothing to do.
