Can you concentrate writing while listening to music? email this discussion to a friend?

I think many people get distracted in their writings while listening to music. I can't blame you, it is sometimes difficult to come up with ideas when we have our headphones stuck to our ears. Ideas just doesn't flow smoothly but I am just the opposite. Music inspires me and the more aggressive the music the more good ideas keep pouring in to my head. I am doing just that right now multi tasking, reviewing in slicethepie while posting and responding here. But it doesn't do justice to any one site as my attention is then divided between writing and listening and at the end of the day nothing seems to excel. But I guess this is how I motivate myself to find peace in music rather then the cold silent night. How about you? Does that makes your mind work?

I put on the music while doing my homework all the time. I just need the background music to help me with the boring homework. It feel like someone is there, while you do your boring homework. I am used to it and it doesn't distract me.:D

Music does really help you do your homework. Good news for students.

Well, not everybody can tolerate the noise from music. They want peace when they are writing.

I can concentrate fine with any background noise including music.

For me I love music a lot, but to write while listening I just cannot seem to be able to do it. I sure wish I could, but I guess for me I can only do one thing at a time. I am glad others though can do it.


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5831)   ranked 358 out of 9,135 in listening to music  1 year ago

Yes, not everyone likes music when they are concentrating on something.

The vocals are the main thing that makes good songs.

i acn only concentrate on one thing at a time.... when i am writing something and thinking too alongside then i wouldnt want to have any kind of disturbance or noise or music around me.....
now when i am writting this post itself my dad's put some classical music in the background like he loves to do every morning and he is also talking on the phone ....which is a major disturbance for me...cos more than the music i can hear him talking with his friend and my mind keeps deviating there all the time.....
but i try getting it back to the post but its very irritating in the end!!
the music doesnt make too much of a difference unless i like the song and want to sing along......
thats when i would either sing the song or post.....
so normally i like it when the house is quite and peacful but sometimes i also like it if there is some soft music in the background.....
many times i used to use music while studying when i was in school....
i wonder how i managed to study while music was blarring out of the speakers but i did it!!

I think you like peacefulness but soothing music can be relaxing.

Not really, sometimes I found music pretty distracting while I was writing. But the really depends on situation. Sometimes, I found music pretty soothing, and I can write many pages. That really depends on situation on me. I won't say music is distracting my writing constantly.


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5831)   ranked 358 out of 9,135 in listening to music  1 year ago

Soothing music are relaxing and it can act as a motivating factor when we are writing.

I actually prefer to have some form of a white noise on while I'm writing or drawing or whatever. I also like to read with music on but I couldn't really do that up until recently. I think that my mind really works well when it has all sorts of elements going on around it. When I have auditory and visual things to focus on while I'm trying to create it helps me start to think and get a lot of ideas flowing.


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5831)   ranked 358 out of 9,135 in listening to music  1 year ago

Having music around us makes us more lively and it allows the flow of good ideas when we are writing.

I am so glad you asked this question....My friends think that I am weird because I love listening to music while I am writing.....Actually I have a huge problem with silence....If I am reading I have to have the television on.....If I am writing or typing I have to listen to music....I am currently in school working on an associates in Psychology....Every paper I have written I was listening to music....I haven't received anything less than a B yet....So for me in some weird way music and multitasking connect....

There is nothing very wrong listening to music while writing. I have done that all this while and it really unearth all the words that have been buried in my brain dictionary. So it helps a lot.
