If you’re working either on the office or at home, you always get distractions. The most common form of distractions are notifications. That is because we often felt like we need to response to these notifications (facebook notifications, twitter, etc.). Let’s face it, most of us if not all has access to the internet. And there are a lot of cool stuff in the internet.
As of today, only few people has no facebook, twitter or g+ account. And when we get notified via this social media sites, we tend to respond and forget that we are in the middle of our precious work. We often tell ourselves “I will not open my facebook account today”, but when we open our computers, the first thing we do is check our facebook wall. Our mind tell us not to but our body does not respond accordingly.
As I am writing this now, I am listening to Simplenoise, a online tool that aims to lessen if not eliminate the distractions and so far it has. I haven’t switch tabs to my facebook profile while listening to this relaxing sound of the rain with thunderstorm. It feels cozy just sitting at my chair with a cup of coffee. It’s as if something has push the relax button on my brain and it feels great.
Simplenoise also has mobile versions for android and ios available on google play and itunes app. It has many beautiful sounds that you can choose; Thunderstorm, Babbling Brook, Summer Waves, SimplyNoise's Signature White Noise, SimplyNoise's Signature Pink Noise, SimplyNoise's Signature Brown Noise, etc. It’s also cheap to download. Its free listening via browser and I’m OK with that. The controls are easy to manage. No need for you to worry about how to play it.
At the moment, the rain background music which I am listening to right now helps me relax. If you want to sleep, I think having this played at the background can help you with that. Try it out and let me know in the comments below how it helps you.
