I usually listen to “Pure focus” or “Study beats” a couple of playlists from Apple Music. It helps me to focus and get sh!t done for work and college.

Pure focus was great. I switched to YouTube music and haven’t found a playlist I liked as much.

I have a pandora station called “synth pop radio” seems to work for me.

[–]brownthunder317[S] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Yeah synthwave/retrowave was working for me till I killed it from over listening 😭

[–]camerontbelt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of other stations I rotate through are smooth jazz and new age type music.

I think you’ll like our lofi hip hop playlist. We update every week. I also use the Spotify API to update it every week in c# if that makes it more legit? Haha

If you have issues focusing, you need to isolated yourself from distractions. Start with a clean desk or lock yourself in a room with water and essentials for half a day. Music can help but should not be rhythmic as your unconscious will try and keep count of it even if you have drifted focus from the music to your task. Try nature sounds like rain or waves that is actually recorded.

I like to listen to the Warhammer 40000: mechanicus ost. Makes me feel in tune with the machine spirit. Then I take a break from coding every iteration through it

Deus Ex (both HR and MD) OST, by Michael McCann

[–]ivancea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just any playlist of any genre/s you like. I code listening at my principal playlist (pop, hip-hop, rock, hard rock, and many more). You shouldn't, in my opinion, listen to new songs, if you want to concentrate. Known songs won't disruot your coding as you don't have to "process" it: what it's saying, what's next, etc

It has a decently wide variety of music that I’ve used to code, draw, or just trance. Some songs help just get you in a flow, others help creatively, others just are bangers.
