Nightcore’d stuff, when I need to get amped up to do something not interesting, stuff like apocalyptica for relaxing/wind down
Depends on the task but yes.
Risk of Rain 2 OST
Pandora has a station called “music for studying” that I find pretty helpful. It’s a combo of instrumental electronic and classical and it’s just upbeat enough to keep me focused without being distracting.
Baroque classical
This right here. I don’t know why, but Telemann got me through university… well, Telemann and Dexedrine.
Anything with a fast beat and no lyrics.
I have a Spotify playlist I found called “drum’n’bass no lyrics” that fits the bill.
Also use any of the bonkers releases (favourite is bonkers 14) but they have lyrics… I’ve found that once I’ve listened to them a few times though I don’t notice the lyrics anymore…
Would you be willing to share your playlist link?
Sure thing… It’s not my playlist, I just found it on Spotify.

Danheim got me through homework for most of college, got me in focus mode
Boards of Canada
Love ‘em
So many types of electronic music. Trance. EDM. House. A DJ.
Sub focus and Infected mushroom off the top of my head for a couple of good ones that help me pound out the computer work 😁
Awesome, I love this stuff
The French radio station Fip is really good background music. I can pretty much have that on constantly, and even the occasional announcements don’t really break my concentration, as I don’t speak French.
White and Pink noise where shown to increase concentration in ADHD people
Of course, I have this tab in Mull lying around for 3 weeks and in one week it will be auto-deleted!
Gotta get some white noise!
I have a playlist on Apple Music of this. Also brown noise. I wonder if I should only uses certain noise “colors?”
Brown noise is what I sleep to
Hahaha I have no idea why noises have colors at all
If you think of low frequencies as “red” and high frequencies as “blue”, corresponding to the range of the visible light spectrum, then pink noise has more “red” and less “blue”; white noise has equal amounts of all frequencies, etc.
I have a channel on cytube for that exact purpose, feel free to hop on if that’s your jam ! It doesn’t require you to sign in or anything

Enya can be helpful for me. Otherwise soothing classical music, the fast and loud works can be a little too distracting. It also helps me to listen to the same thing when doing a task to train my brain to focus when listening to it.
can’t listen to music when working makes me focus on the music and not the work and i get nothing done silence please
A few years ago, I found the music genre Math rock (especially instrumentals) which has been phenomenal for whenever I have to be productive, since my brain is hyped and busy enough to not bother me with thoughts, but not too busy to be completely distracted. I swear it’s like handing a brain toddler a tablet just to have a few minutes of uninterrupted time to be able to do some Adult Things like writing emails and uni stuff.
if someone is interested, I can drop the link to my Math rock playlist on Spotify
Edit: Here you go, a link for my little playlist with mainly Math rock tracks (aptly called “Traubenzucker”, which is German for “dextrose” lol): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/30EWXxsm8mj2exYlne10Dw?si=D6kBAFemQe2BKiL9WWCPJQ&pt=f6f1836c5d7b6182ea91098653b5b127&pi=iC_J-yz6RrOie
I think this link only works for a week, so if the link is invalid, just send me a message and I’ll send you a new one :)
Also interested. I also like math rock on occasion. It makes for a great task soundtrack. Much like video game music, it kind of adds a sense of urgency to whatever you’re doing, like beating the clock or setting a new high score, but it’s doing the dishes. I’d be curious to see how your Playlist differs from what I normally listen to.
Do you have any recommendations for me? I’d love to expand my playlist with more songs - I usually get my recommendations from Spotify or YouTube, but personal recommendations are much more valuable :)
Hell yeah! Honestly I’m a metal head so I like a lot of heavy guitars and drums. My favorite band, August Burns Red, have put out a few instrumental versions of their albums and that’s usually my go to. But I like a lot of others. Polyphia The Algorithm Andromida Berried Alive Bernth I Built the Sky Animals as Leaders Volumes
Those are most of the ones I can think of right now. If you want more I can get on my spotify later and look through my playlists.
I am interested
