Does music help work flow?

After the team trip to Turkey, I purchased some new headphones.
I was sick of sitting in the labs hearing only the sound of typing and clicking mice. Not the cheese eating type either.

I found that I was less distracted from what was happening around me and far more focused on the job at hand.

Then I got to thinking, "Does music help work flow?".

I could not decide if it was the music that was helping me work or just that it stopped everything around me from being a ditraction.

Also this had me wondering if the type of music mattered at all.

So today I have experimented with different types. Loud, quiet, fast paced, slow songs, rock, classical even a bit of 80's pop.

I think that it is nicer to have music you enjoy and also, be in the mood to listen to it.

What's everyone else like to listen to when they work?

Would really like to here some comments on this one people.

Till Next Time Cya!

Yay! Deamon!

Your result for The Golden Compass Daemon Test ...

Social Joker Soul

You an an extroverted, playful and confident sort of person. You seek out excitement, and you love to be right in the thick of things. You are enthusiastic, garrulous, and you love to attend large social gatherings. You love to laugh. If you spend too much time at home, away from friends and fun, you tend to "fade", becoming tired and a little depressed. A fun night out with your friends soon re-energizes you, though.

You make friends easily, and you probably jump between several groups of people. You probably have a group of friends for every need - the friends you drink with, the friends you jam with, the friends you talk with about the meaning of life... You blend in with each group of people, showing your sensitive side when you are with certain friends, and hiding it from others. You love to meet new people, and to make new friends. However, you are not a slave to popularity. You will speak your mind to defend yourself or one of your friends if necessary. You are no shrinking violet, and you are more than capable of fighting your way out of a tight corner.
That being said, your confidence and your enthusiasm for fun can sometimes lead to your making thoughtless comments which hurt or insult people. These people, however, are probably over-sensitive squares who don't appreciate your sense of humour. You don't have much time for people like that, anyway.

Your daemon's form would represent your social, playful, yet honest personality. He or she would probably urge you to create further mayhem, or would make snide comments in your ear about the people you meet on a daily basis.

Suggested forms: Toucan, Crow, Macaque or Bonobo, African Wild Dog, Macaw.
