Sometimes when I'm listening to music, it gets distracting. But then after I turn it off, I feel the need to listen to something. And then I turn my music back on and the cycle starts all over again.
So. How do you listen to music without being distracted?
I feel like this question has to do a lot with control. It's because I have the power to choose which playlist to put on and when to start and stop the music that I'm distracted. So try this. Next time you're in this situation, put on a playlist at random. Absolute random. And don't give yourself the choice of song. If you like the music and it's not distracting, then keep it going. But if you don't, then shut it off. Don't just jump to the next track, but actually, turn it off. Because if you really don't like that song, then listening to nothing is better than listening to that song. And tada! You don't have the problem of wanting to listen to music and getting distracted anymore!
