i like to think that music makes me more productive as a sysadmin, but it really doesn't. i'll start thinking about the song i'm listening to more than the task i'm performing. it reduces my alertness and productivity.

however, the act of simply having headphones on my head makes me a great deal more productive! the number of drive-bys i receive at my desk drops dramatically when i go into antisocial mode.
