I definitely have a playlist for everything. When it comes to designing/coding I always have music on in the background and it definitely affects the designs that come out and how productive I am that day. Though probably not always considered, another good piece of advice to keep in mind. I do agree on listening to stuff you know well already – I find something new will distract me because I want to know more about the song/artist. Reply Great article.

If you're able to listen to music that doesn't distract you, that doesn't make you go "Oh, what's the song again?" every 5 minutes then it keeps you on task. (Or I guess, listen to the radio instead?) Oh, and if you're on a multiple-monitor setup, don't keep iTunes always visible on another screen! I've found that you're always wanting to either rate the song, or wanting to know what album it's from etc. Not to mention that it's a big block of white light in the corner of your eye!

BPM for such tracks is between 125 - 130 ( in my case ) so it gives a power and energy boost to work fast. From time to time I listen to my Putumayo collection, mostly songs from Latin America or Africa. The beat and tempo is here very easy, lightweight, chill out like. The vocals/lyrics are not distracting at all since I don't understand the foreign language, so it's perfect.

There usually aren't any words to distract me and I feel energized when I listen. I'm usually more productive as a result.
