I simply can’t work with any video playing in front of me. Never. Doesn’t matter how many times I’ve watched it already. Music is fine, but only instrumental. Add lyrics, and I’ll get distracted.
I’ll check out Noice, thank you for the recommendation! Not a big fan of rain sounds due to bad experiences, but certainly other white noise, and “ADHD” Playlists with no lyrics are really helpful for concentration sometimes.
Great that you figured out what works for you. I mostly listen to Indian classical music (mostly sitar) or instrumental heavy metal nowadays while I’m working.

I like to listen to Internet Radio. SomaFM Secret Agent at the moment.
Same, I don’t understand how others can do it, I’ve tried forcing myself but no luck. I work in silence most of the time.
You might find better luck using atmospheric noises à la rain.today or Noice. They’ve been pretty helpful for me in some situations.
