For me, it's sorting through clean laundry. It takes forever so music keeps me focused.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

You should be a mayor!

Washing the dishes Hanging the laundry to dry Cleaning the litterboxes Mowing the lawn Painting the walls Driving Working Literally any time consuming, monotenous task I encounter

Nothing, maybe except for listening to music if you want.

Coding. I need to get into the "zone" where I just type it all out and that somehow doesn't work in complete silence.

Runnngi / jogging

Taking any form of public transportation. The sheer noise and bustle is way too much for me without headphones and a good playlist.

[โ€“] zettajon@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I honestly don't mind it normally, but I need the noise cancelling headphones for the losers that blast their shitty soundcloud-tier music off their phone speaker

moeing the yard without noise cancelling ear buds. it's way too loud without them. but the music gets me to a meditative state. i look forward to it every week.

Anything. Music makes everything easier to do for some reason

Working out with weights

[โ€“] essellburns@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Housework, I want something energetic.

Showering, I want something emotional.

Marking Essays, I want something instrumental.

I can't listen to music without listening to music

[โ€“] Didros@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I can't think of a thing I need music for, but if you mean you can't do it WELL without music than I say cardio.

Not going insane while driving

what? why? how does the music help? what happens if you don't listen to music?

[โ€“] Muetzenman@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

You can focus on the music and maybe people don't like sex sounds. I guess ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Or it is a boring task and the music is the most entertaining part of it.

[โ€“] Cokeser@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Shopping, especially when walking to the supermarket.

Going for a walk in general, actually.
