I've always liked to work to music.  The right music can help me focus.  It brings me to that state of receptiveness and keen alertness that I find crucial to getting my work done more effectively.

At the office, I work in an open space and can hear everything that is going on around me.  It can be very distracting.  I sometimes find myself jumping into conversations just because I overheard something plus we're all friendly like that.

As fun as it can be, it's not very efficient to work like that.  I have headphones that I keep at my desk and today I wanted to listen to music that would help me focus and get my work done.  The local radio stations play online but I don't want sing-along songs and talk radio that engages me.  Not now anyway.

I searched online and found a great site.  It's Groovera.com  Right now I am listening to their Jet City Lounge channel.  I'm the worst person to put into words what I am hearing.  It's some wort of techno, jazzy, bluesy thingiwhatsit.  The bottom line is that it is super mellow and lays in the background as I do my work.  It acts as a sort of white noise to cancel out the goings on around me and keeps me focused on the task at hand.  And I can still hear my phone when it rings. Try it!
