How to concentrate in noisy work environemnt

hakz code

Hi guys, I am into understanding a huge code of a newly given project code,but my workplace is noisy with so many people talking... I have put on noise cancellation headphones,though they are not reducing the noise by 100%,any suggestions on how to concentrate?! X|

1. Think louder. 2. Do not think. 3. Play Planarity[^].

If moving somewhere quiet is really out of the question (and if you can't concentrate, then I'd nag the boss a bit) I find that listening to music with good headphones is about the best you can do - in my case I prefer music I don't know too well , if it has lyrics, otherwise that can break my concentration too! Loud classical is good.

You forgot to play music louder than backgroud trough them. It works, at least for me. ;)

Thaks,I would better do that!

Then I would just start concentrating on lyrics of it! I would better play some music with no lyrics.. Thanks

I play techno-trance or some fast death/trash metal. You can't concentrate on lyrics too long, for sure. :)

I would try that :)

Listen to Mozart and Vivaldi. Nothing like them for concentration, perhaps a bit of Bach Baroque too.

My office has a policy against any sort of radio, but encourage headphones. I listen to a favourite list of netradios from the moment I sit down at my desk, to the moment I leave. Then I adjust the volume as needed, pending how the consultants ramble at the time.

Then I would feel as if I was put on hold or riding the elevator all day :) How about something more stimulating? Metallica?

Please speak louder: cannot hear you. On the serious side, gain some real interest for the project, it helps a lot.

1. Ear plugs 2. Play some song in repeat mode and listen using head phone. After one or two repeats, you will not listen to it at all. It will be same as silence.

Interesting second point. :)

Stimulating == distracting. Anything other than ambient instrumental music on low prevents me from concentrating deeply, and if I need to concentrated totally for a while, I need silence.

I listen to a pink noise loop. It drowns out the loudest chatter and lets me focus on what I'm doing. /ravi
