I just recently got a WFH job, and outside of meetings, 80% of my day is spent bobbing my head to music while working. I do have to pause sometimes when something isn’t clicking and I need to shift my focus and sometimes literally read out loud what I’m reading. Then the music comes back once I remember that I paused it.
@BassTurd @mac This sounds like the dream to me.
It’s only been one month, and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. The freedom is nice being WFH, but even when I go into the office, people are armed with nerf guns, and the kitchenette fridge is stocked with beers for Friday mini happy hour.
I very much feel that. Listen too music most of the time, or have a video running, then pause it when I need focus more. That’s honestly how I’m most effective.
I realized zoom’s noise canceling or whatever is such that it doesn’t usually pick up on music playing in meetings. It’s usually doom (eg: spaceslug) or synth pop (eg: cold beat).
It really helps with long inefficient meetings.
