Dance tracks from the 80's-00's help me get through the day with a smile on my face and a bounce in my step.
Nothing. I have this weird thing where I can't listen to music and do my work at the same time. Listening to music is an active experience for me, I have to focus my whole attention on it and enjoy it. Putting music on as background noise doesn't work, it gets super irritating because I can't focus on my work or on the music.
The other issue is that the instant I put my headphones on at work to listen to music, someone comes to my desk to talk to me, without exception. And I hate talking to people, so I avoid wearing headphones at work these days.
with all the meetings and such I don't bother.
Whatever's been stuck in my head if I've got very little to do and the lyrics won't distract me. Piano and softer instrumentals when I want music but am also working on something. Podcasts when doing mindless data shuffling or cleaning. Rainy Mood when studying.
And Megalovania if I need to work on a time sensitive priority 1 fix/task.
Okay this is a cheat code I will share with you. When coding I listen to 3blue1brown music.. If you have been watching that guy you will notice feeling like a fucking genius solving problems all the time :)

'old on, Gov. Some of us are quite simple creatures what can't walk and chew gum at the same time. I can't listen to any music if I'm working, writing, or doing anything that requires concentration. Music is such a whole encompassing experience, I have to give my full attention to it and it totally detracts me from whatever else I'm doing.
I prefer old-school trance, mostly, but anything high-energy and instrumental works. I've been known to use the Mario Kart soundtrack now and then. The important part is that either there are no lyrics, or the lyrics are in a language I've never attempted to learn.
Mostly just 2 hours instrumental playlists off YouTube from places like Epic Music Empire or PandoraJourney. Usually like movie trailer music. It's good for when you need hard heavy background noise to keep you focused but without lyrics so I don't get distracted.
