It may be that there are hidden truths in the idea embodied in the Disney song, “Whistle While You Work.”
A new study examined by Martin LaMonica for The Conversation showed that what music people listen to while performing various tasks can have a significant impact on productivity.
The study found that “participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same” on easy tasks. “However, participants who listened to complex music performed best on” easy tasks.
“Conversely, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn’t listen to any music.”
