Thank you for the interview.

It seems that there may be a mistaken link in your second last paragraph?

“”"Now Get Rich Slowly has taken that position.”"”

The link on “Get Rich Slowly” there is to a .com address that appears to be either SEO or a domain squatter.

Wed, 14 Mar 2007 00:31:00 +0000 http://zenhabits.net/2007/03/14/golden-goals-series-secrets-to-success/#comment-705 Here's a random thought about productivity that occurs to me here as I'm cleaning my office:<BR/><BR/>Music is a powerful tool for my personal productivity. Seriously. I basically operate in two modes: thought-intensive and thought-minimal. Each mode can be enhanced by a different kind of music.<BR/><BR/>Most of my work is thought-intensive. I've found that when I'm engaged in some sort of task that requires focus and concentration -- programming, writing, web design -- then my productivity is greatly enhanced by listening to either classical music or "chillout" music. This sort of music does just enough to keep my stray cycles from wandering to other paths, paths such as Battlestar Galactica or YouTube or Lifehacker.<BR/><BR/>But when I'm doing thought-minimal work, such as cleaning my office, I love to listen to dance/electronica. The driving beats and the catchy tunes keep me moving for hours at a time. It's great.<BR/><BR/>Each person probably has different productivity music. My wife listens to NPR when she wants to get stuff done. (I call it "noise pollution radio", though, because I cannot do *anything* thought-intensive when NPR is on.)<BR/><BR/>Just a random thought! Here’s a random thought about productivity that occurs to me here as I’m cleaning my office:

Music is a powerful tool for my personal productivity. Seriously. I basically operate in two modes: thought-intensive and thought-minimal. Each mode can be enhanced by a different kind of music.

Most of my work is thought-intensive. I’ve found that when I’m engaged in some sort of task that requires focus and concentration — programming, writing, web design — then my productivity is greatly enhanced by listening to either classical music or “chillout” music. This sort of music does just enough to keep my stray cycles from wandering to other paths, paths such as Battlestar Galactica or YouTube or Lifehacker.

But when I’m doing thought-minimal work, such as cleaning my office, I love to listen to dance/electronica. The driving beats and the catchy tunes keep me moving for hours at a time. It’s great.

Each person probably has different productivity music. My wife listens to NPR when she wants to get stuff done. (I call it “noise pollution radio”, though, because I cannot do *anything* thought-intensive when NPR is on.)

Just a random thought!
