Its funny how music makes me work faster ... ....

Oh my goodness! I was just listening to Thunderstuck and doing this very thing. How can anyone live with out rock and roll. It feeds me and gives me energy. I couldn't do without with.

Really, that's cool!!! i always like to turn the music on and listen to upbeat songs(house) but i never notice that it makes me work faster.. the upbeat music just makes me feel happy and energized =)

I know full blast fast music will get me speeding tickets and I agree, good music makes housework much more bearable and the cleaning goes faster. Disappointed to be finished -- now that is an overstatement.

I've had those days lol! It would have to be cleaning the upstairs rooms. This includes kitchen (dishes, sweep and mop) dining room (wipe table, vacuum) and living room (Windex tables, vacuum). If you can't tell, the house is really an open design, so I can turn on the stereo in the living room, and get all these tasks done in no time flat. And don't let me be in the house by myself and get to singing!!!

Music helps me do tasks quicker in general. I remember a long time ago, I used to get scolded for listening to music while doing homework. "But it helps me concentrate!" is always my reply, but it never worked. : D When there's no music, I always feel it's "too quiet", so I work slower. Talking is a different thing though. When someone is shouting, it also slows down my work. Loud sounds bother me in general, so I never get much work done whenever there's something loud going on. I set my music on semi-low, loud enough that I can hear it, quiet enough that no one farther than five feet can hear it. (I use headphones by the way.)

I am like you, I find that if I listen to music while I work, I get a lot more done. I know that for me when I have music playing, it's not so much work as it is cleaning while I dance,LOL. Hey my moto is anything that helps to get the cleaning done faster, is okay by me,LOL. I think that there is something about listening to our favorite tunes that also helps to improve our moods, I am sure that it has a lot to do with what kinds of music we listen to as well, if something slow is playing, I always change the song.

yes I don't know what it is about music but it does inspire me to do housework too.

[i]Hi gemini, It does a lot! I love cleaning when I have my music turn on, it helps me motivated to clean and enjoy at the same time! Even when I am only folding or arranging clothes, I love listening to music too![/i]

I'd actually have a hard time not dancing if it were me. So yeah, I wouldn't get as much done.

I like to have music on, but I never notice whether or not it makes me go any faster. Maybe it's just that the time passes faster because your mind is on the song and not on the cleaning!

hello gemini_rose i hear ya about having to have music on like that to get the housework finished lots faster. i always listen to some kind of music when that i am cleaning up the house. my hubby is the same way, when he goes to clean up the garage or something like that, he always has his music on listening to it. lol i love to listen to music when that i am mopping the floors. lmao i probably look like a big idiot mopping the floors and dancing with the mop! lol right? lol when my family and myself moved into the home that we have been at for almost six years now, one of the next door neighbor ladies came over i thought to welcome me and to visit for awhile, well was i wrong, she came to knock on the door to let me know that i had my music too loud. duh, welcome to the neighborhood. take care and have a beautiful day today!

I have always done that to. There is something about music that makes me weant to dance and I always have it on when doing some cleaning. Sounds like you had some great fun.

Hi I use to work with music even when I am doing some writing works. It will add two more person on me on my right and left side to do my work very correctly on time to finish my work more effectively. People who all are staying alone at they can only rid loneliness with music and videos. This will improve your skill set and time that we taken to finish that work will be completed on time, we never feel boring at all. We feel very energetic when there is a music with us. I don't know about others, but commonly music works and workouts a lot. Is it correct or not?

while listening to music all ur concentration are transfered to the music u listen...so u donno what ur working and this will make ur work easy

it happens to me too all the time.....i think that when we listen to music we do all tasks subconsciously and that helps us do the same faster and in an efficient manner..

I like having music on while I work also. For some reason, it helps distract from the monotony of the task and its more fun. The time goes by rather quickly and yes, you are right, its almost dissapointing when you are finished. Who would have thought?

I either have music on or nothing. If I have the tv on, i get distracted and will end up watching whats on instead. My housework has suffered over the last weeks though so I think I might have to have some music on soon and get my bum into gear lol

music is the one rythm tat makes our nerves to do things just like ....what we can do...more often i find a spring of confidence when i hear music ......

The influence of music is profound. It helps to calms down when people are in anxiety. In shopping malls, where customers are encouraged to stay longer, usually the slow paced music is played, while in fast food restaurant, in order to enhance turnover quick paced music is played. Some people cannot stand music or other sounds when doing work, others, esp boys, like to have music on to help calm down, and in turn, to concentrate. I like soft, low music on when I work.

i like listening to the music, not too noisy, but i think i cant work with the music on because my mind will be attracted by the music. i cant put my mind into two. i also like totally be in the music, without interruptance,to touch the feelings. thanks.
