i just can't focus a lot online when i try to earn more online when i am playing music in the background. sometimes i just want every thing to be silent. i just don't like any music or some noise around. even if i do like the music, because it distracts me in what i am doing. so i prefer things to be quiet and just enjoy doing what i do online.

I love listening to music when I am doing anything. It makes the most boring tasks much more entertaining to me and gives me motivation to do a lot of things even when I don't feel like doing them. I love listening to music while driving, taking a bath or shower, playing basketball or working out, running, doing homework, doing online earning, reading sometimes, and much more. I am able to get a lot more online work done when I am listening to music because I don't get bored as much with doing the really meaningless tasks involved with online work.

Peace'n'quiet - This man seems (or seemed; it was me once) to be enjoying it...mmmmm....
I'm exactly the same. I tend to play music every day, but when I'm online trying to concentrate on something, I prefer things to be quiet, and will rarely have music playing, or the TV on in the background.

I do tend to watch television or something, while I'm online. Sometimes, I do like it when there is no music or anything, but I still tend to watch TV or a movie, while I'm online. It's what I tend to do.

I honestly believe that this is one way in which many people are different because I need to have some kind of background noise in order to be able to concentrate on my work that I'm doing online. For example, right now I'm listening to a history podcast while I'm doing my work online. However, there are many different podcasts that I will listen to and I will also listen to music while working online as well.

hello, We are different. I love music and I love playing it whenever I am doing something it makes me feel relax and comfortable. Well, that is my hobby when I am studying, I never got bored in reviewing my lesson whenever I played music in my side.

so do i. when i hear music or any loud noise, i cant do my jobs well done. i think it is common for some poeple, even some people enjoy music when the work. but for me, silence is much better, because we can concentrate better. i used to hear msuic when work, but my work didn get good quality

I love music or even the TV on when I am on the computer but sometimes silence can be nice especially at night, peace and quiet.

So try to be alone when u are thinking or you have to focus on some issue. Be sure what your task is and make suitable plan. This is my advice.

I use to be the same thing. When I try to study I want everything to be silent and I will easily get annoyed when someone makes the littlest noise. But right now I am the opposite. I can zone the music out and concentrate on what I am doing. It feels a little weird when everything is quiet. It is kinda spooky or somthing,.

The i would say you are my exact opposite. I like music so much.I always go to "my music" before proceeding to mylot or any other online activities.Makes me work more lighter whenever music is around.I also have music when i do estimates,only in lower volume but have music still. My husband used to sleep with music on but when he experienced having a room mate, he skip listening to music when its time to sleep.

Me too. :) I love music and can not live without it. But at thesame time I can not work when it is playing in the background. What do i do in this situation? Just when i finish to work (I try to do it fast)then i turn on the music. It really helps.:)

Me too.and here is an old saying in China :you can't possess both fish and bear's-paw(I don't know if I have translated it accurately),it means you have to give up one of the two things.when you are working,you have to be concentrate on it.
