Here are five reasons why you should use headphones at work.

• Set the expectation that you are working – When you put on your headphones, you set the expectation that you are working or immersed in deep thought. People will be less inclined to interrupt you when you have your headphones on.
• Create your own work area – If you work in a noisy or busy environment, wearing headphones can be your ticket to a private ‘zone’. Tune into your music and turn off the chaotic background music of your office.
• Motivate yourself – Music can be a great motivator. As well as isolating you, your music can pump up your energy and mood. Keep your inspirational music close at hand. What is your motivational song?
• Prevent distractions/distractions – When you’re focused on a difficult task, the last thing you need is to be distracted by the latest conversation in the hallway about politics or sports scores. Let your music remove the distraction and allow you to get on with the task.
• Choose your own attitude – whether your attitude needs a quick boost or even a few minutes of calm – and let your music set your mood. A few minutes of calming music can give you a great break from the hustle and bustle of the day.
