by preventing all potential distractions.
everyone is different here.
one needs music, the other hates music.
some can read on public transport others need the peace and quiet in their own home.
just arrange yourself as you need it.

>one needs music
wrong. the only people who "need" music are people who are so unfocused and have such short attention spans that they need music to divert some of their attention away from their hw so that they don't get completely bored and switch to something else. such people are still unfocused and less effective than an intelligent person who works in silence and without distraction.

To execute perfectly, it requires full mental immersion of explicit and implicit attention, synchronising your breath with your movements at the same time. It takes years to master and you will master your ability to focus on tasks with it.

Also as a bonus, you get a bit fitter and probably a bit more dopamine so you'll focus better naturally.

On that note, this covid shit has made this semester un-fucking-bearable. Everything is 10x more cancerous and boring when done at home, and its not like I'm some social butterfly. I don't talk to anyone (unless I have to), but this shit is grating even on an asocial retard like me.

ADHD-like symptoms like distraction and fatigue and brain fog and forgetfulness and slow cognition can be caused by the following:
anxiety
adhd
depression
hyper and hypothyroidism
vitamin or mineral deficiencies
sleep apnea and other sleep disorders
isolation/ loneliness
not wearing glasses when you are myopic
being overweight
not exercising
stale air
drug side effects

music isn't ideal but if it allows you to focus then it's better than nothing. i usually don't use it but sometimes i need to because i cannot focus through the sound around me. ofc, most music is impossible to focus through too.

The absence of sound is odd and distracting to me. Rather than allowing my brain to fill the silence with my own thoughts, I'd rather give myself some background music while I focus my thinking on a more important task. There's a reason people can walk down the street and chew gum at the same time. It's not meant to "divert attention away from hw," rather "preserve attention for hw." It depends what you personally interpret as a distraction.

Do people really experience flow when they sit down to do something? I've never experienced this, there's always some song playing in my head or some other occasional distraction that I pick up on from the environment.
