To the improvement of my focus and productivity I recently-ish got into listening "arbitrary" music with little to no lyrics and an uplifting tempo.
I used to listen to particular bands which I felt "defined my identity" or something, which I still occasionally do, but I've since realized that when I'm working it's "distracting" to me and I now listen to things like generic "trailer" / epic music or "upbeat" music for workouts.
