On: The High Price of Multitasking

[mnemnc]

While I totally agree on the dangers of multitasking, I found a certain genre of music to help me to get into a flow state while programming and thus massively boosting my productivity.

What genre is that? I tend to listen to different ones, but no one genre manages to get me into the flow every time.

Progressive psytrance. What's interesting is that a lot of other genres of electronic music (which have similar characteristics) don't have the same effect on my productivity and ability to concentrate.

I'm not too surprised; I find a YouTube mix of an hour or two Psy Trance or Psy Breaks to pass incredibly quickly. Classic trance gets a bit dull, EDM is too engaging.

It's even more effective than thunderstorm or "train in the rain" soundscapes, just as long as it doesn't have much in the way of lyrics.

Why would you not go on to state what the genre was after establishing it as the focal point of your comment?

The focal point of my comment was that I disagree with music (always) being a distraction to you primary action.
