do you listen to music when you work?

This is the place for readers of poetry. Discuss poetry and literary art. You can also discuss music here, including lyrics. Also, you can discuss poets themselves, in addition to poetry.

Maybe you should turn the volume down, it may help.

It's the best stress reliever for that matter.

Now I'm trying to quickly find a suitable speaker system to buy, but a cool thing that is useful even for parties. I'm looking at the review here https://homemakerguide.com/best-wireles ... und-sound/, the options are interesting, but I think there is something else to look at? We often get together as a family, we love to go to karaoke. What is there to buy such a speaker system to have your own karaoke at home?
Maybe you should look for earphones. I will check out your article.

It's understandable, but to me, it's the opposite, can't imagine how I can live without music.

What about you?
Na, i don't. I love full concentration
It's understandable. Not everyone is the same.

I also listen to music most of the times when I doing the house chores, especially because it puts my thoughts at easy ,and then, concentrate entirely on what I would be currently accomplishing.

When I am studying I like to listen to a calming song that makes the study much fun. Music makes me feel alive without them everything becomes boring. :lol:

I don't listen to music. What I do listen to is YouTube videos while I work.

I wish I could, but I’m not allowed. I do like to listen to music when I’m working around the house though. Sometimes I’ll listen to a podcast or have a TV show on in the background.
