Do you guys and girls listen to music when you study?
Or is it a distraction?

Or is it a distraction?
When labbing up my own Ideas and more generally at work then yes I do, but not when reading text or following lab manuals.- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein

I can only do instrumental when studying. Vocals make me lose all concentration. -

I'll have music on studying as long as I'm not reading. I even like to have it on quietly in the background when I am watching videos. -

I wrapped up my CCENT with chill-step.
Now, post-rock goes really well with my ICND2 study sessions, luckily there playlists out there that are 1hr+.“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” Confucius -

+1 to what cyberguypr said. I dig movies so sometimes I will get some instrumental movie soundtracks out. It drowns out all the other ambient noise and can be quite helpful. -

I can't listen to music, have movies or the TV on, or have my wife making too much noise or trying to talk to me. It just distracts me too much.And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high. ~Ayrton Senna

I listen to "soothing" music, e.g. nature sounds or instrumentals, when studying. I also like binaural beats for intense focus power. -

This. I upgraded to a paid Spotify account because the commercials between instrumental tracks would break my train of thought.cyberguypr wrote: »I can only do instrumental when studying. Vocals make me lose all concentration. -

If I listen to music it's usually just radio. If I listen to my favorite jams no work is getting done.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

Before kids, all the time. Usually a metal or industrial CD that I listened to a lot. After kids, I have found that i need silence.Andy

I've learned to study with this happening because my wife ALWAYS talks to me while I'm studying. Either that or she sits near me and starts watching something on the iPad without using headphones

I've found that non-intrusive background noise and music makes me more productive. -

Depends on if I'm hyped up on caffeine. If I am, it's Metallica or Newsted and more metal, or something catchy like Pentatonix. Otherwise, it's Mozart, Beethoven, 2Cellos, or some violin.:study:Reading: Lab Books, Ansible Documentation, Python Cookbook 2018 Goals: More Ansible/Python work for Automation, IPSpace Automation Course [X], Build Jenkins Framework for Network Automation [] -

I do the opposite. I put earplugs in, with earmuffs over them, but that's when I'm reading. Otherwise I'm watching videos. -

This. There's a playlist on Spotify called "Intense Studying" which has a lot of classical music that I play on my headphones while studying. Not necessarily to aid my learning directly but to drown out the noise at home or in the library.2018 Goals - Learn all the Hashicorp products

Progressive house, liquid dnb or sometimes white noise played over earplugs.
I also turn off all notifications, and have at least 15 minutes between last social media use and the start of proper study. -

Usually, I listen to stuff with lots of bass but the hours before exams I'll switch to classical (Baroque mostly) and maybe silence.

I NEED music in the background. Drove my parents mad when I tried listening to music when doing my homework. Has not changed. I usually listen to "Clubroot" or "Burial" when studying .. actually .. when doing anything on the PC really.My own knowledge base made public: http://open902.com

Nothing with words I can understand. Throws me off. Something like Deep Forest where I have not idea what they are singing/saying is the same as just instruments for me.
