How do you Focus

I’ve always focused best with complete silence. Sometimes, I’ll have music or the television in the background while I do some work. That works well if I’m cleaning my computer, for example. But if I want to do deep thinking, I turn off all the noise.

Scents for Focus

Have you used any special scents or sounds to help you concentrate? I often drink peppermint or cinnamon tea, but I do it because I like the flavors rather than for the benefit of concentration from the scents. Entrepreneur.com highlights 6 scents that can help with productivity.

Sounds for Focus

I sometimes use my subscription from Focus at Will to get some background sound that is not distracting. I’m not sure if it makes me more productive but it doesn’t distract me from my work while providing some background noise. Although I’m very comfortable with silence, I sometimes wish for some background noise. I’ve invested in Sony noise-cancelling headphones so that I can control the background noise.
