Do you prefer to listen to music or podcasts when at work?

[AngelOfLight258]

Music

Podcast

I focus on the job

[CaptainOverthink]

Depends on the job.

Is it physical labor that requires neither active thought or social interaction..
Then Podcast, because podcast for me keeps my mind occupied and stimulated.

Otherwise it's music because I can filter it out if need be and pick it up as the situation changes. Also it lightens the mood to channel emotions through it and I just feel much more at easy dancing around while working.

Funny thing is, if I need to deep dive into what I am doing at work, I remove my headphones or I keep them, but I stop the music..

If it's regular work - music. This does not happen anymore :

[DizzyDesii]

Watch movies and shows while working. I get more done surprisingly. Music is secondary. Podcasts would put me to sleep. GAG is a full on distraction that makes me slack

[Pinay_ako]

I focus on GAG while working 🤣

[Pinay_ako]

Thanks for the MHG 💕

[D_Bone_Steak]

Honestly depends on the work. If I have to think and do math I prefer music and music with no words gets preference. Now if it's mindless work I usually choose to memorize things like Japanese words or sentences while I do the work, but an audio book or people talking is always welcome.

[SeriouslyFunny00]

I listen to some instrumental music if I have to focus more, then R&B when I'm more relaxed. ☺️

[NewsReader]

Since my work is pretty simple and does not require much focus, I listen to podcasts. If I'm actually busy then I listen to something laid back and casual. If I'm chilling and taking it easy then I listen to news. Music is only for home.

[2Wheels]

While I'm doing something that requires my full attention I can't listen to anything lol.
When doing mindless work though I prefer podcasts more so.

[RosieMelts]

If the work is something routine and fairly simple- music

and if it’s important, or requires thinking- no music.

Music is my absolute JAM! 😊😁

💃💃

[AviatorTom]

Most of the time I focus on the job. Occasionally, if I am doing something repetitive, that doesn't take much concentration, I'll listen to music in the background through headphones.

[drummerdude25]

Honestly… podcasts! Music gets too distracting for me because I just end up wanting to jam out to it lol, and then nothing gets done! 😅

[Vanidal]

Ambience music / soundscape sound, yes.
Anything loud and with words, no.
So, no podcasts. No loud music and/or with lyrics.

[Vanidal]

I prone to making mistake when I do that.

[NathanDavis]

music 10,000% and everywhere...

and I don't really ever listen to podcasts... never got into those

[Emiliamazing]

Got to focus on my tasks at hand, and I spend a lot of time on the phone as well. No music or podcasts until the evening

[Aerolyn]

Music.

I've tried listening to podcasts before, but I just never really find myself that into them.

[musicbrain5]

I can’t listen to anything while I’m at work, since I’m a teacher.

[CTHuskyMan]

I like to listen to music during my break, but I try to focus on the work I need to do at other times.

[bubblegunnn]

Mostly music but sometimes also horror podcasts as well

[Jamie05rhs]

How does one listen to a podcast while at work? I guarantee you, if they're actually doing their job, they would miss half the story.

[tony_baloney]

Depends on the job. If you have to focus your mind on something, absolutely. If your doing mindless labor, it's pretty easy to listen and get your work done. I'm currently a dishwasher at a restaurant while I'm making my way through college and podcasts are my favorite thing to listen to while on the job.

[tony_baloney]

I also work in mold remediation during the colder time of the year and that doesn't really require much mental effort either lol. Mostly demolition, cleanup, lot of vacuuming, and some chem spraying

[Jamie05rhs]

@tony_baloney Good point.

[Pudsmucker]

I love music it keeps my stress low. Pod cast are good also.

[Fuentes]

I listen to prank call podcast on my breaks and down time

[luuciillaaa]

I can listen to both things but I prefer music. I love listening to music and furthermore music helps me concentrate more.

[SnowedIn]

I can't listen to music at work, distracts me.

[Guy13]

I’m so boring…. None ‼️

[DancingQueen16]

I listen to both music and podcasts

[Ms_Facesitter]

Music but when I run out of music, it's podcasts

[AsaKyo]

If a job ever hires me, maybe C

[misfittoy]

[Blackcupcake]

I can’t do either

[Debbie14217]
