Do You Listen to Music While You're Typing?

Yes I listen to music whilst typing, but not all the time. I guess it depends on the task. Sometimes when I'm working if I get to something that I'm stuck on and it requires a lot of working out then I might mute the music until I've worked it out. It also depends on the type of music and what mood you're in I think. Sometimes you're feeling upbeat and want something motivating and lifting to listen to. Other times you want something calming and soothing. Maybe it's easier to concentrate with soothing music or even music with no lyrics. There has been the odd time when I've accidentally typed in the lyrics I was listening to by mistake!

Sometimes YES- Sometimes NO it depend on my mood.. but most of the type I like listening to music while typing it gives me more energy heheh.

Hello Shar. Sometimes I love to listen to music while doing some typing, but not always. Like what you say, it sometimes distracts my attention if I have to concentrate on my typing job.

Hello Shar19 I quite often have got the radio on but I can still type and listen at the same time apart from when the news comes on and then I have to pause so I can listen to it properly. Later on in the evening I don't like to listen to the radio because I don't like the type of music they put on at that time so I put the tv on. As my pc is on a desk in my bedroom and I have a small tv beside the pc I can just watch it/listen to it at the same time as myLotting!!

I'm actually listening to music right now ^^ I like to listen to music while doing just about anything. The only exception is studying :S As long as I'm not doing something that involves a lot of concentration, I do fine multi-tasking with it.

It really depends on what I'm working on. Sometimes I can listen to music and sometimes I need to concentrate so I can't.

I never listen to music while I am typing. It is very distracting for me. I have to have peace and quiet. I wish it did not distract me.

I sometimes listen to music when I am typing. It does not bother me. Sometimes I even sing along to the music while I am typing.

Hello There. It really depends. When I am writing a review for a product or device, I prefer not to listen to the music so that I will only focus on my work. However, if I am just mylotting or answering survey sites, I prefer to listen to some happy and light music because it really turn on my mood into responding discussions here. Even at work, when I am engaged with some updating of records, I would rather listen to music while typing and updating a record on our database. It lessens the boredom feeling and it keeps me forget the time. hehehe Thank you for the discussion! Have a great day and Happy Mylotting! Cheers!

I usually listen to music while I am cleaning the house, but not while I am online. I don't know why, but I just don't like to because I think it distracts me.

i love listening anytime, no matter what i'm doing.

I'm like you, I usually don't because it will mess me up too. I loose my line of thought. I do like to listen to it when I am cleaning though!

depends on various things if i am doing some ordinary work i generally listen to music while typing but when its something serious i avoid listening to music.

ya not only wen i'm typing but also wen i'm at my office or at home i listen to music , i feel sum kinda relaxed wen i listen to music.

now no.. but sometimes i do that.. i t is good for relazation.

I do tend to listen to music when I am typing or rather when I am doing anything. I have to have some sort of noise in the background, I don't really like silence.

Why not? as I am typing this response I have my headphone with the music blasting in my ears. I do that most of the time as I feel it inspires me more to have music while I do my work and in this case typing and thinking what to write here. It is multi tasking.

I like to watch TV or listen to music. I can listen to music when I do most things, even read. My husband can't tho. He can't do two things at once like I can.

hi shar, When i have to type long and important chatting.I prefer to listen which i don't understand.

To me it depends on the music. I can listen to Jazz/Smooth Jazz and other types of music along that line while doing anything. Other genres of music I tend not to listen to while doing other things.
