Do you like to listen to Music/Watch videos while working ?

August 28, 2022 2:16am CST
I have been watching Lot of youtube videos lately, not because I have free time, but since I like listening to songs while working. Since I enjoyed music It became my habit. At work no one ever complained about not to wear head phones, so I continued using them at work place as well. Nowadays, I am working from home, due to which I can have a peak at videos too while working. Sssh! Don't tell my boss What you like to do when you are working ? don't worry I am not going to send your response to your boss

Well, I am retired now, so I don't have to work. But I don't like to listen to music at all. I do watch YT videos, though. Mostly I'm reading books or playing on myLot.

When you were working, your manager allowed you to use headphone while doing inventory or something ?

That's cool, if it is mindless work or maybe not mindless but been doing it so long do not really need to focus and can get it done, I can listen to music. Most times I have to shut music and TV off to concentrate, especially with how loud brother and sister and three dogs gets . Sometimes I am like you know what crank it back up to drown them out. I love my family.

I don't have to face customers that's a best part of my type of work. I am a backend guy, who take cares of services. Whatever tickets gets logged regarding problems faced, we resolve them. Please note - these are indirect tickets which are actually complained by customer then customer representative have logged internal call based on issue faced. I work for a Bank. And maintain their core banking application's one module. I close the door, when I am attending meetings, I got 3 dogs and 1 cat (she is outsider just come for food ). Things really get messy when they are on loose and my mom is cooking We live in 2 room kitchen apartment. So it kind of small to accommodate everyone. You leave with your brother and sisters ? Like joint family ? or they haven't got married yet hence they are staying with you ? or all are married and bonding kept you in same house ? it's okay if you don't want to share it, I understand. My work is repetitious most of time, so I abuse looking at the ticket - like "Oh man not again" and then start working on it ( This line had no abusive word, It's gets dirtier when I actually say it in front of computer.)

@crossbones27 That's so nice that you all are staying together! My house is also kind of same, I got one sister. She don't want to get married because of my joint family had lot of problems. I don't want to get married because being part of joint family, I can't give that much attention that she might be looking for, I kinda like to dodge responsibilities. I have seen myself in that situation - where I had to take care of many things at same time. Though I did well, and completed 80% of tasks for 2 days, I su#k at keeping my mind at peace while completing all the things. I was like why I have to do it. May be I am not right guy or at that state where I can manage things And then comes Financial stability. I do earn pretty good amount compared to people who are married. But I can't save it by end of month. Nowadays girl and girl's family is looking for financial stable male, and recently I have seen 4 my close friend getting separated because of financial stability (he was earning more than me) and Joint family thing etc. Looking at all this I feel I shouldn't take that path. May be until I owe my own house or have enough in my account to fulfill all her things. Many have tried to said - " Things will work out in long run, but it's should be both ways right ? " Never mind. Sorry I dragged nonsense topic here. May be you all are waiting for that right moment - where prince charming will come to take you with him and for your brother a cute, smart princess

I agree, but unless we are not handling customer face to face, If you ask me, my work is repetitious. I do get challenging work too, but music is always on, When I have challenging work, I will not look at mobile screen instead concentrate on my office laptop.

Videos are distractions for me. While in home, I always play some background music. I am an educator and while working with children, there is no video or audio. Some instrumental music help in therapy. I am more productive when there is a background music.

I agree, while teaching you won't be able to use head phones or play music. But that is what you enjoy doing right ? Teaching kids, making them smile, making them understand and sharing your experience will be like toppings of Cherry for the kids.

Lately, when I acquired this new headset, I started appreciating hearing music while working. It somehow clears my mind especially when your mind is occupied with so many things.

@allen0187 why would like to have it ? Don't you get bothered by it ? I get bothered by continuous sound of water leak from kitchen Sink or my system (PC) creates which didn't had cleaning for over 3 months.

I sometimes listen to some songs. Also, I sometimes watch a few cricket match highlights in between. Not routinely, but sometimes.

I also listen to music while doing something- work-related. It cools me.
