Enhance Your Work Focus with Alternative Sounds

If you're like me and love music but tend to get distracted from work by your favorite tunes, check out this list of other sources of sonic bliss to use while you grind.

1. Music for Programmers

Over 100 hours of music tailored to programmers? Yes, please. No account necessary, completely free with no ads, and a cool interface make this site a no-brainer to turn to for some background audio. New "episodes" added occasionally.

2. Lo-fi Music

Fun, relaxing sounds that won't overstimulate your brain while you code. There's a reason the Lo-fi girl has been the go-to for thousands of people over the years and is still widely popular. Endless playlists throughout YouTube and Spotify are also available, so find some that you like!

3. Brain.fm

If you want something more robust, there's no better place to turn than brain.fm. Scientifically proven (yes, really) to help you focus better, brain.fm provides a customizable experience with loads of great tracks and a simple UI.

4. Video Game Soundtracks

This one might be controversial, but I've found some games have fantastic OSTs for focusing. My personal favorite is the music from Risk of Rain 2 (check it out on Spotify here). You can often find these soundtracks in their entirety on YouTube or Spotify.

5. Ambient Noise

Want to switch it up? Try throwing on some calming sounds like rain, forest ambiance, or beach noise. Often used to aide sleep, these sounds can also help increase focus and concentration while working. Just don't fall asleep at your computer!

Enhancing your work focus can be as simple as finding the right sonic companion. Give these alternatives a try, and let the music lead you to a more productive and focused work environment. I've personally found these alternatives to be game-changers in improving my work focus. Experiment with each one and discover what works best for you!
