What do you listen to while working?

I was listening to some YouTube sales videos today and thouroughly enjoyed the motivation it gave me. Then I got to wondering what you guys listen to?

Any audiobooks, podcast, etc?

Industry related, business, and/or sales?

Basically I’m trying to do something more constructive while I washing, then lynyrd skynyrd, drake, and al green.

@squidskc can look at his library app and tell you all the books I listen to lol. I average 3 or 4 a week.

I always look at it. And I always will wonder what kind of Western or political or military thriller you’re listening to next. My first reaction though as I didn’t borrow this. LOL

I have access to about 5 libraries. We should all trade info so as to better our selection. My listening moods are eclectic lol

I don’t listen to anything… I rarely even play music in the truck!

I don’t listen to much music but I like audio books and old time radio shows.

I rock out to trans Siberian orchestra while I’m plowing snow. That’s my Christmas jam!

Brittany and I play Muse when we do snow removal. “Black holes and revelations” is probably my favorite album to rock out to for snow removal.

The day goes by so much faster with music or books on in the background. Listening to the engine hum is money in the bank, but it gets boring. Waterproof headphones are where it’s at. I still have to buy a pair every few months but it’s totally worth it.

Im the type of person that likes a radio’ but i refuse to wear headphones. Same reason I hate sunglasses and gloves. It makes me feel disconnected from reality. Im sure I have sone kind of problem lol

It’s funny that you say that. I’m supposed to wear glasses but I don’t. I feel like I’m in a video game when wearing them. I’m sure it’s like anything else, once you get used to them, it gets easier.

For anyone interested. I found two places to get audio books.

www.scribd.com
8.99 a month unlimited books and audiobooks

www.audiable.com w/ prime
14.99 a month. One free book per month

I’m currently doing a trial for both to see which one is better. From a glance it appears Scribd is a better deal, but it may be of lesser quality, or it may not. I’ll update here if interested.

All you need is an app called overdrive and you library card. Literally 10’s of thousands of audiobooks for free. @squidskc and I exchanged info plus I have family in other states with shared cards.

I listen to Eric Von Haessler on 750AM from 9 - 12 and then I’ll switch to Bill Handle on KFI occasionally. I like his show but I’m not big into California news so it depends on what he’s discussing that day. I also love Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History podcasts. His series on WW1 is amazing.

The sound of the pressure washer running

I don’t really listen to anything if I’m pressure washing because i feel like I’d have to have the volume so high on the headphones that I’d go deaf in a few months.
But if I’m doing other type of work, I’ll listen to Manager Tools: https://www.manager-tools.com/
Or Frank Sinatra, Paul Anka, Andrea Bocelli, etc, on YouTube
