Do you listen to music when doing chores?

[deana]

I didn't used to listen to music during chores very often but since I got my first pair of earbuds (about 6 months ago) I have been doing this a lot more! I like to listen to oldies, upbeat pop music, or chill lofi while I do chores depending on my mood.

 

[Aerith]

Yes, I find it easier to get through them when I have something to listen to, though I don't always decide upon music.

 

[azurill]

I love to listen to music when doing chores. I find cleaning boring so to me listening to music makes it more fun.

 

[moonbyu]

surprisingly, chores are the one thing i do completely without music. i don't really have any particular reason for it, i just can't stand having music on while i'm cleaning. i guess it's just a focusing thing?? idk

 

[Giddy]

Depending on me, it's either music or drama videos from youtubers I like, and just listen in the background as I get stuff ready.

 

[rocketspruggs]

No, it's kinda distracting.

I listen to music when I am not doing chores.

 

[AccfSally]

It's a mixed bag. But if I do, it's usually me just listening to podcasts (usually MBTI related stuff) or an audiobook. But if it gets too distracting off they go.

 

[S.J.]

Generally not. I just want to get any chores done as quickly and efficiently as possible, so I'm not really focusing on any background noise.

 

[Snek]

For me it depends on the chore. If I am washing the floor, the most likely not. If I am washing dishes, then I am more likely to want to listen while washing. I generally don't want to listen because I want to focus on the chore itself but for monotonous chores like washing dishes I'll maybe put the music on.

 

[BetsySundrop]

Yes! Either music, audiobooks, podcasts....I have to have something to listen to while doing chores, gardening, out walking, whatever.

My favorite things to listen to - 70s and 80s music, audiobooks of older books (like Flatland, lol), things with storylines, like Welcome to Night Vale, all kinds of stuff.

I hate doing chores so I listen to music every time, actually I listen to music whenever I have to do something I don't wanna do, makes it a bit easier for me

 

[KittenNoir]

Yes I do all the time otherwise I won't clean I like the music to distract me and pass the time.

 

[seliph]

usually yeah. i especially use it as a means to check out new music.

plus it makes folding and putting away laundry much less exhausting.

 

[Kattea]

When I lived alone, I used to listen to audiobooks while cooking. I loved listening to memoirs where the authors read their own story. But yes, music was a great alternative when I didn’t want to think that hard.

 

[Gabby]

Yeah, I generally do. I like dancing around the house to some good tunes and also singing. I feel like it makes it more fun to clean with music on. I also usually work with music on, but if I have to focus I'll turn it down or shut it off as sometimes the extra sound can be distracting.

 

[amemome]

sometimes! if i need to run a vacuum, i don't bother because i won't be able to hear the music over the vacuum.

but when i can, i love to play music.

 

[SkyKnight03]

I'm definitely more of a podcast person. Music is mostly for car and bus commutes.

All the time! I usually connect my bluetooth earphones as I find that listening to music helps complete housework quicker. I do love connecting my bluetooth speakers to my phone aswell, but I turn it up so loud I have to wait until my neighbours are out!
