Other than a great accent and a good laugh, that video offers little to actually help you fight off distractions at work. Whether you work from home or in a cubicle farm, focused energy wanes as distractions abound.

Distracted

That’s the adjective for you, the modern worker.  Why?  The average worker manages to actually work less than 6 hours of his or her 8 hour work day.  It’s not that you mean to fritter away those 2 hours, it’s just that you find your head popping up every time someone walks by or makes a call.  You can’t help it…or can you?

An ideal solution

It’s time to try something new…and not Operation, fun as it is.  Our free white noise generator does just that- it provides a low-level hum that reduces the impact of distracting noise.  You can even customize your own white noise and preset for your convenience for work, home, or even while traveling.

“While the rest of the economy continues to nose dive, I’ve been blessed to work for a company that is growing. As a result, we just moved … in the process, I went from having an office of my own to a cubical. I don’t really mind it at all, but I get to hear everyone else talk (and vice versa).”

Is this YOU?  Are you privy to every word spoken in your office, whether you like it or not?  Can the guy four cubicles down quote your sales pitch verbatim and tell you what you order for lunch every Monday?  If so, it might be time for change.  (You wouldn’t want him to actually sell something anyway.)

You may have heard of “white noise.”  For years, people like you have found that a low level of background noise can block out unwanted distractions (like the girl who recounts everything she ate that day and wonders why she isn’t married) so that you can focus on your job.  Using “white noise” won’t fix every problem you have at work (said girl might crush on you), but it will enable you to concentrate for longer than a few minutes at a time.  Try our free white noise generator for as long as you like.  We dare you not to get hooked.

Janice sneezes.

Tom uses his cliché sales line yet again.

Your boss slams his door.

David curses as the copier jams.

Kate’s high heels click-clack down the hall.

You hear it all, and it’s nearly impossible to actually work with the constant distractions.  Unfortunately your rent is still due and you’d like to eat in the near future, so not working is not an option.  Someone should write song about it…at the very least a limerick.

Coworkers so often distract
When they feel the need to reenact
Details so boring
That everyone was snoring
And the poor soul his tale had to retract.

Janice will sneeze again and Tom will definitely attempt his lame clichés- and soon.  However, you don’t have to be held prisoner by other people’s actions and resulting sounds.  With this free white noise generator, you can drown out all those distractions and actually work.  Imagine that- going to work and getting your work done.
