My ear buds and writing

Something that I have figured out for myself is when life seems to get a little overwhelming, I need to put my ear buds in and escape for a little while. It is amazing how just putting the ear buds in and making sure that the noise-cancelling feature is clicked can make things so much easier to handle.

For a lot of people, they can manage to deal with all the different sounds that are going on around them, and they can tune them out without any issue. For some people, like me, I am unable to block those sounds out and sometimes they become overwhelming. The sounds I am talking about it traffic outside or even the normal activity that goes on around you. These are sounds that sometimes can start to make it difficult to focus on getting the stuff done that you would like to get done.

For me, when things start to bother me, I simply put in my ear buds and make sure that the noise-cancelling feature has been turned on, and I just escape into a place where I can focus on getting things done. I don’t put but any music or any sound on, I just simply put my ear buds in and tune out all the different sounds that have been going on around me. It is nice when I can sit and escape those sounds because that is normally when I can sit and get a lot of writing done because I don’t have the other distractions that happen.

The only downside of putting my ear buds in and the noise-cancelling feature is I don’t hear when my husband has come into the room near me, so that can be a bit of a shock. Something that we have learned to do is that I make sure that I let him know when I have put the ear buds in so that he understands that I cannot hear him when he comes into the surrounding area. Sure, it means a bit more communication when I use my ear buds, but it also means that when he is coming into these areas he tries to ensure that he does something else to get my attention. Being able to make sure that we have good communication is very important because it does help when I just need those few minutes of blocking out all the other sounds around me.

For me, my ear buds have meant that I can sit and focus on getting writing done when everything else seems to have prevented me from doing that writing. There are also times when just putting my ear buds in when I want to relax and forget around all the other distractions has helped as well. So, if you are finding that you cannot focus on things because of the sounds that happen around you, maybe it’s time to figure out some ear buds or headphones that will work for me because it can make a big different. The ear buds that you got don’t have to be expensive but making sure that they have some noise-cancelling feature as part of them is very important because that is what blocks out all the other sounds that can be the distraction that you are dealing with.

My ear buds have helped me regain a focus when writing has been a challenge, and they have given me the escape and focus that I have needed. Making sure that you can get things done the best way possible is important. For me, my ear buds mean that I can turn out the rest of the world for a few minutes and focus on getting some writing done, which makes me happy.
