Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That’s when you fight the urge for distraction with a slightly less bad distraction like decent background music or a show you’ve seen a lot.
I simply can't work with any video playing in front of me. Never. Doesn't matter how many times I've watched it already. Music is fine, but only instrumental. Add lyrics, and I'll get distracted.
Same, I don't understand how others can do it, I've tried forcing myself but no luck. I work in silence most of the time.
You might find better luck using atmospheric noises à la rain.today or Noice. They've been pretty helpful for me in some situations.
I'll check out Noice, thank you for the recommendation! Not a big fan of rain sounds due to bad experiences, but certainly other white noise, and "ADHD" Playlists with no lyrics are really helpful for concentration sometimes.
Great that you figured out what works for you. I mostly listen to Indian classical music (mostly sitar) or instrumental heavy metal nowadays while I'm working.
