I just recently got a WFH job, and outside of meetings, 80% of my day is spent bobbing my head to music while working. I do have to pause sometimes when something isn't clicking and I need to shift my focus and sometimes literally read out loud what I'm reading. Then the music comes back once I remember that I paused it.

I very much feel that. Listen too music most of the time, or have a video running, then pause it when I need focus more. That's honestly how I'm most effective.

It's only been one month, and it's the best job I've ever had. The freedom is nice being WFH, but even when I go into the office, people are armed with nerf guns, and the kitchenette fridge is stocked with beers for Friday mini happy hour.

I realized zoom's noise canceling or whatever is such that it doesn't usually pick up on music playing in meetings. It's usually doom (eg: spaceslug) or synth pop (eg: cold beat).

It really helps with long inefficient meetings.
