A few days ago, I used the next song button on the steering wheel to try to skip a song that was stuck in my head. :(
Did it work tough?
Sort of? It did immediately make me laugh and snap my mind to, “Oh, shiiiit. I’ve really, fully lost it.”
Yesterday, I did the opposite. I was in the left (passing) lane and I missed something that was said on my podcast, so I signaled left instead of hitting the “previous” rewind button on the steering wheel. ☹️ I swear, I drive safely and am not medically-diagnosed with Dumb!
And it works too
Sometimes I’ll wear headphones and listen to music to concentrate. Sometimes I’ll take my headphones off to concentrate.
I can’t work to music I just find it too distracting. But watching 2 different episodes of American dad, whilst working? Not a problem
The music for me can vary, i find music without lyrics is easier to concentrate with. Stuff that sounds classical or instrumental rock/metal is what i tend to play for concentration
If you’ve got any tracks you can lay on me my fedbrother, it’d be much appreciated
Not OP, but instrumental metal for working: Karma To Burn, Red Sparowes, Pelican (Pelican can feel a little souless but that’s my opinion).
For instrumental rock I like Nick Johnston’s work, IAH is also pretty good. Listened to a lot more artists when i was studying in college but have forgotten many of them.
Justin Johnson is an instrumental blues/country/rock guitarist with a pretty wide range of sounds.
For more classical style music I’ll often just find a playlist but the album that got me into that style was the Child of Light soundtrack by Couer de Pirate. Actually many video game soundtracks and artists are great instrumental music, work from Jeremy Soule is often relaxing and fantasy driven, Marty O’Donnell is known for his work on the Halo soundtracks and has some great instrumental/orchestral rock tracks.
Try film scores. That’s what I use when studying for certification exams. I listen to Jóhann Jóhannsson, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Thomas Newman, Nick Cave, Nico Muhly, Max Richter, and of course some Hans Zimmer as well.
Check out Bantha Rider.

It depends. If it is something that is monotonous, then music helps keep me focused. If it requires deep thought, then it can be distracting. Picking the right music for either option can also help.

*to concentrate better
Turning the volume down works cause more brain for the eyes.
Different inputs, but same brain. Sometimes you need to focus better and having other unrelated distractions around will make that hard to do.
This is also why talking on even a hands-free phone is more dangerous than talking to someone in the car. If something sudden occurs, the person with you usually will stop talking, while on the phone they probably won’t know and keep going, adding to the background noise and maybe being a factor in your ability to handle the situation.
Easier to focus that way
My car stereo annoyingly turns the volume way down whenever I put the vehicle in reverse. It feels so condescending & unnecessary. I’M supposed to be in charge of all the buttons & switches.
Kia?
Mercedes with an aftermarket stereo that I regret installing.
Isn’t that due to parking assist beeps? Turn that off and see what happens.
What makes you think my vehicle has parking assist beeps? My car has nothing.
PARKTRONIC has existed on Mercedes for like 20+ years… how is it an unreasonable assumption that you would have such a feature if reversing impacts your stereo volume?
I actually could see how it might help see if you have one of those bassy sound systems that literally makes the whole vehicle vibrate every time the drums and bass guitar slap.
Screw off bot posting this garbage.
