Just what the title says. I’m simply training myself to be able to work while music plays, which I’ve never before been able to do.

For always, I’ve been one of those fidgety fuckers who requires total silence, even from the dog, in order to concentrate to where I can get any meaningful work…

I can’t do shit — write, read, code, make motion graphics, whatever — with music playing any more, but I don’t think it’s because I’m a musical person. I think it’s just because I’m easily distracted. Maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up with a television, the white noise that so many American kids do. But then Sam shouldn’t be able to, either. Maybe he can’t. I don’t know.

I can, and often do, work while listening to music. The only time that doesn’t work is when I am doing work requiring a lot of reading and/or writing.
