Likewise, I could work no better in a room were the TV is going, the kids are playing Ping-Pong, and somebody is running the sweeper. That would be way too much to filter out and get to task.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, a space with little physical distractions and some level of noise, such as a dishwasher, fan, radio, or fairly constant traffic, can actually mask other distractions and give me something to park my awareness on while I get to my concentration tasks.Reed Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320027887229636821noreply@blogger.com
