For me, it's sorting through clean laundry. It takes forever so music keeps me focused.

Cooking. Everyone knows: When there's a dance party going on in the kitchen mealtime is coming.

Taking any form of public transportation. The sheer noise and bustle is way too much for me without headphones and a good playlist.

I honestly don't mind it normally, but I need the noise cancelling headphones for the losers that blast their shitty soundcloud-tier music off their phone speaker

Fill in the blank: I cannot complete the task(s) of __________ without listening to music.

Nothing, maybe except for listening to music if you want.

Working out. I hate the silence otherwise, usually podcasts or music depends on mood and exercise.

Coding. I need to get into the "zone" where I just type it all out and that somehow doesn't work in complete silence.

Vacuuming/housework, and working on cars.

Sex

what? why? how does the music help? what happens if you don't listen to music?

You can focus on the music and maybe people don't like sex sounds. I guess 🤷‍♂️

Or it is a boring task and the music is the most entertaining part of it.

Being an Uber driver. Literally un-doable for me without Spotify.

Anything. Music makes everything easier to do for some reason

Shopping, especially when walking to the supermarket.

Going for a walk in general, actually.

Taking a crap. Here Comes the Boom by P.O.D. gets the boys from the south movin’

mowing the yard without noise cancelling ear buds. it's way too loud without them. but the music gets me to a meditative state. i look forward to it every week.

Exercise on the elliptical. Ideally I find songs with a moving tempo, but not too fast, and I can sync up my elliptical running to the beat.

I can't think of a thing I need music for, but if you mean you can't do it WELL without music than I say cardio.

Housework, I want something energetic.

Showering, I want something emotional.

Marking Essays, I want something instrumental.
