How to concentrate in noisy work environemnt

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.

============================== Nothing to say.

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

I'm wondering why anyone would want to play that on a tiny screen. The real fun was when there were so many nodes I had to zoom it to full screen on my 1600x1200 monitor. Need to try it again on my 2560x1600....

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

On which level did you fail?

Don't recall the number after a few years; but I stopped when it got to the point that I'd have to zoom to the point of needing horizontal/vertical scrolling in order to have enough space to pack the blue balls (just enough space between them to see a few pixels of lines). The grind on the last few levels was several evenings each.

For this reason alone I've acquired a taste for the Groove Salad station at SomaFM - You barely notice it's playing, except for the odd uber-eclectic song. Beats listening to a noise generator... :|
