Music to work helps you to relax, focus, force you to come and deal with the list of last things. Here are some guidelines to help you choose the kind of music.
The first is to say that there is no perfect recipe - all the music for the work is excellent. In any case it depends on whether you do not interfere with the music while working. If it does not interfere with, or even necessary, to cover the noise, these tips are for you.
Classic:
How it works: According to research, the productivity of those who listen to classical music while working, higher than that of those who work in silence. It is advised to "Four Seasons" by Vivaldi, Bach's Brandenburg Concerto №3 and other baroque music. Best rate - 60 beats per minute.
Ambient / Techno:
How it works: the name of "ambient music" given the wide range of musical genres, the main feature of which - experimenting with composition, synthesizers, algorithms, random sounds - are intended to replace the standard components of popular music. This style, as well as its more recent branches - chill out and IDM - can also be used as a background for the work, which helps to relax the mind, while remaining focused.
Where to get it: this music is widely used at airports to help passengers relax and not think about the flight.
Noise:
How it works: if the usual music distracts you, but from the chattering colleagues and office noise can not escape, little noise can pleasantly complement your playlist. Regular white, pink and red noise produced by the generator, make you less distracted by other sounds.
Other:
Some are advised to listen to the radio - no music, talk shows or news: it masks the noise around you, but you focus and do not distinguish the words. Another good idea - movie soundtracks: the absence of words helps to not be distracted, and music "sets the desired wave." The main thing - to help your music for you, and no matter what it is.
I'd read an article somewhere where they had this theory that classical music was helping plants grow as well. Not sure how true it is but it does make sense when it comes to the mental stimulation it gives off. I'm a musician/guitarist, and I gotta say that classical/jazz music is some of the most complex stuff around. Those patterns really sing with the brain.
