To keep me from boredom, often times i listen to music while working.. but then lately i am getting bored from the music lol so i decided to watch..err rather listen to movies online, yes i know people might find it weird as i could not see what is going on, so i just listen to what the characters say and it keeps me up and awake i just hide the status bar so my boss wont see i am on youtube i just watch "the pregnancy pact" which was enlightening, cyberbully... and i am watching at first sight right now. am i alone on this one?

i can't focus on watching movies and working also..so that i don't do like that.I am very concentrically whenever i watch movies so that i can't do anything else...but with music, i can do many things else because i just need hearing only, don't need watching. However, be careful with your boss when you watch movies while working..

I did that too before when i was still employed! I watched korean dramas online but not on youtube. My boss knew i was watching but only when i didn't have lots to do and he knew i was doing my job well.

I used to "listen to tv" while sewing or working on something else in a close by room. It is about the same thing. Does your movie listening interfere with getting your work done? I could see that being a problem.

I never do that,cause we can't concentrate with our working.I don't know maybe some people feel comfort and enjoy listening music or watching movie while working. But i can't. I usually listening music or watching movie when my work has finish.Be careful if you're often did that jobs.Someday i'm afraid your boss will know that and you'll get fired.

I love to watch movies. I saw people watching movie while working on their PC. I don't know how can they manage to carry out two works I at a time. In my case it is impossible to have more than one activities at a time. But there may be people who can carry out more than two activity at a time .

I think it is pretty normal. I am okay with this and i have done this myself too. I have been bored with the music and well i had a couple of movies or series and i play them while i do my work. i would sometimes pause it and do some work but then i would even be able to do more... he he i have finished watching raising hope while i do my documentation too... i think its quite okay to be doing this, just that when i have a very tedious work and i need silence, i would turn off the video and focus on work.

LOL, I could never have done that in my previous corporate work. The bosses are already stingy and conservative and doing this sort of thing could really get you fired. I did, however, log on to Facebook while working (it's for research) but I still got into hot water because of it.;p

Haha, no! You are totally not alone. I usually listen to the music while I am working. If I am working at home, I sometimes watch TV while working, and let it be. I sometimes watch youtube, too! :)

Your company doesn't watch what you use the Internet for and have blocks on Youtube to ensure you spend more time working? I listen to music and of course during lunch I exercise to get my fresh state of mind back and can come back revitalized and ready to finish up the day.

Focus mind does more work. - Distracted mind tired easily
i used to listen to radior or tv news while working online , however , i guess due to old age multitasking skills are lesser now , i do work in a quiet environment no radio or tv.I find it quite refreshing and done work more then previously.Maybe a focus mind do more tasks.Rather than a distracted mind do work slowly.Actually there is nothing nice on local tv.

Hi friend, i will listen songs while working, some times i watch videos while working, but most of the time i prefer to give my full concentration in work. Particularly while working in mylot, we must give our utter most here to give good replies. Good to hear that you have the ability to concentrate in both video and mylot. Keep it up

I like to do things like this because it means that I don't get bored as quickly as I might have done in the past. If I am doing something mundane then I will put something on to watch while I'm doing it, and I will then find that the time flies by and I will have completed the task before I know it. There are a lot of things that I like to watch on the TV, and they build up unless I watch some of them during the day, and this is something that I like to do because it keeps me entertained while I'm working, and that has to be a good thing.

I listen to music while I am at work. I don't think I could watch movies or listen to them, as I could not be concentrated on my work. It requires a lot of attention and therefore, I cannot be distracted.

I watched movie too while wroking since I am working as private duty nurse and my patience is always sleeping so I have a chance to watched to ease my boredom. I got very sleepy late in the afternoon since were only two in their room and can go out because she might fall from the bed. Good thing my husband lots of dvd that I can bring to my work and watched while my boss is sleeping. Also mylots keeps me awake so I can respond and watch movies at the same time.
