Sorry to veer off topic a bit, but I work in a cubicle and can't concentrate with the distractions around me. Phones ringing, people talking etc. When I have to actually think creatively, or write a letter or something I have to walk outside to collect my thoughts. It's like my brain's radar is turned on too high and I pick up everything. I've thought of buying noise deadening headphones. Has anyone tried this? What else? I'm amazed at the people around me who seem to thrive in this atmosphere. It totally drains me.
warm regards ~Jake
