  Lola Trimble revised idea #1964.

grammatical issues

That was my only problem! I think it's important noting how sound affects our thought and I appreciate your take on it. In the past I would use music to block out thought quite often and I haven't seen many people take note on how harmful that can be towards growth and knowledge creation. I think the revision makes the idea a little less sharp and more helpful. Overall, I really enjoyed the article.

Welcome to Veritula, Lola.

I generally like complete silence when I think but sometimes I’ll play soft music to mix things up.

You make a fair point, so I’ve updated my blog post to reflect that the ideal noise level varies based on people’s preferences.

Basically, choose a noise level that maximizes your ability to think and hear your own thoughts.

I see the value in having quiet areas to think, I agree that it is important, but I at times find the quiet distracting. I sometimes work better in environments that have some level of noise, nothing like a club, more like a somewhat crowded cafe. So are you talking about “quieter” environments such as a cafe, or are you talking about complete silence in your observation?
