Music
There are many different opinions about listening to music to improve your focus. Therefore it is important to find out what suits you best. Some people are too distracted by music and therefore work best in complete silence. Of course, this is only possible if you have a space for yourself at home where you can work without others disturbing you.
There are also people who love to listen to music to improve their focus. A reason for this may be that they find silence too isolating or too boring. If you are used to hearing all kinds of sounds around you at work, such as talking colleagues, it can be uncomfortable to suddenly have to work in complete silence. Another reason to listen to music is to improve your mood. After all, music has a big influence on how you feel. In difficult times like these, you can quickly start to feel down a bit. Positive, cheerful and upbeat music can help you to feel better again.
