Do you listen to music when you're studying/doing some paperwork?  email this discussion to a friend?

phatelara (78)   ranked 263 out of 8,288 in listening to music 4 years ago

I love listening to music so much that I even listen to it when I'm studying or doing my homework. I can focus more when I listen to music than when it's too quiet around me. Music keeps me awake and energised.

However, I have a friend who can't study while listening to music. She needs to study in complete silence. I understand that people are different, but I'd like to know if anyone here on MyLot is like me. I can even do calculations while listening to hard rock music! Can you? :)

Hey, you are just like me. Seriously, i can not do any work without my ear plugs pluggen in. I find absolute quiteness too much to concentrate on work just as with some random loud voice. Even when i'm responding to discussions here i'm still listening to music. Its something that keeps me occupied most of the time but does not take up time for other activities


phatelara (78)   ranked 263 out of 8,288 in listening to music  4 years ago

That's so cool that you're like me. :) You're right, it doesn't interrupt with other activities, in fact I think it helps me think clearer. :)

Thanks for responding. :)

Sometime I listen to music when I am doing something else, but not that often.

Care to explain more? Doing what in particular? :)

Llove listening to music and if im writing I have it on in the kitchen,that way it is on in the background,but I cant do anything when its on right next to me,I wouldnt be able to study or do any paperwork with the music close to me,I just dont have the levels of concentration that are needed to do it,I only wished I did,as I have to Mylot more or less in silence!


phatelara (78)   ranked 263 out of 8,288 in listening to music  4 years ago

Hello there ruby222, at least you are able to tolerate some music in the background while MyLotting. My friend can't even tolerate any, except maybe the sound of her heartbeats or or crickets at night. :)

Thanks so much for your response.

I definitely listen to music while studying and doing paperwork, it actually inspires me, I might here a really good line from a song and be like "oh that's a good idea!" and like you said keeps me energized and awake when studying something really boring.


phatelara (78)   ranked 263 out of 8,288 in listening to music  4 years ago

Oh yes, it helps me start some interesting discussions here on MyLot. :) Music is a great inspiration for so many people, it's a form of art that I love the most.

Thanks so much Gorcon for your respond.

music helps me get everything done faster. even listen to music when im at work it also helps comfert me when i need it.


phatelara (78)   ranked 263 out of 8,288 in listening to music  4 years ago

That means music, that's fast music in particular gets us pumped up for work or an exercise routine for example. Certain music helps calm us down in nerve-wrecking situations. Well done, great thoughts. Thanks for your response. :)

Always. I am a teacher and I always have music playing on my computer when I am grading papers, working on lessons, entering grades, etc. It helps to pass the time.


phatelara (78)   ranked 263 out of 8,288 in listening to music  4 years ago

Hi, you have one of the most noble profession ever and I envy you. I've worked as a substitute teacher and I had to cover for a class teacher. I had so many things to do and I'd hate to enter my students' marks wrongly. You're right, music does help to pass the time. Thanks for your response, kbjunior15. :)


myLot reputation of 92/100. kbjunior15 (356)   ranked 696 out of 8,288 in listening to music  4 years ago

No problem. Thanks for the compliment. I think that being a substitute teacher is more difficult than a regular teacher:) I love my profession, though, and enjoy changing and molding lives.


phatelara (78)   ranked 263 out of 8,288 in listening to music  4 years ago

I must agree, I think being a substitute teacher is more difficult than being a real teacher. A substitute teacher needs to be able to adapt to different environment/classrooms and most of the time being given different tasks! I enjoyed myself when I was teaching, though. I love the fact that somehow one or two if not more of those kids I taught saw me as a role model and I help in influencing them to be better students.

I am like you too, music, always, everywhere. My life needs a background soundtrack.


phatelara (78)   ranked 263 out of 8,288 in listening to music  4 years ago

I like the sound of that. I wonder what's your current "life soundtrack"? Thanks for the response, by the way. :)

Same here, I can't really work or study well when i don't hear any music. When I'm in our house at our province I do really clean our house when i'm alone. Because as I clean it, my component really sounds so LOUD and even the whole house is quite shaking. And our neighbors would say that I'm the only person in our house. And also when im studying before, I do listen to fast musics in order for me to study well. I can't study or work when the music is mellow or love songs.


phatelara (78)   ranked 263 out of 8,288 in listening to music  4 years ago

That's really interesting! When I'm doing my house chores, I love to put on my music loud too. :) I hate it when it's too quiet especially when I'm alone at home. Thanks so much for your response, hindichinese. I really appreciate it. :)


myLot reputation of 84/100. hindichinese (572)   ranked 5,350 out of 8,288 in listening to music  4 years ago

When I was a student before i like to work or study with a background music of some sort. It made me relaxed and forget about time especially if I cram during exams.


But I don't know if it's a sign of maturity or what, when i work now or read something, I just want it to be perfectly quiet. It seems that I am losing focus if I hear even a slight noise from an opening door.whistle


My kids now are also behaving just like me before that they study or make assignments with music on, sometimes it irritates me. I am just giving them considerations because I also passed the same stage before.lol


Happy posting!


phatelara (78)   ranked 263 out of 8,288 in listening to music  4 years ago

Perhaps the age factor plays a role in how we act as we become older. It's really nice to know that you try to understand what your kids are going through. It makes me feel like having kids on my own too!

Thanks a lot for your response! Happy MyLotting. :)
