On my laptop on the couch or on my bed... both are great ways to kick back and relax...

i like sleep while listening to music or just plain daydream. i tried playing music while working but i get distracted easily and lose focus on the work. Or if i want to get motivated and physically moving, i play music.

I cannot grade students' exams without listening to music with headphones, and I have exams to grade in the evenings on a steady basis.

Also, I listen to music with IEMs while falling asleep, but cannot actually fall asleep while still listening. What happens is at the precise moment when I start to fall asleep, I have this groovy freak-out reaction that makes me lunge up in order to remove the IEMs, calm down, and go to sleep. I love this habit

I used to do various things - read articles, write emails and/or poetry, chat via MSN to family overseas....

...until I got my Stax setup. Then listening became the only thing possible

I always listen to music through fairly standard harman/kardon speakers when on my computer. Graphic design, re-touching photos, browsing forums etc is always accompanied by music.

With IEM's I am either out and about getting from A to B or lying in bed with the lights off and my eyes closed (seems a popular one). I can't sit there and listen to IEM's and do nothing.

I don't use full sized cans but have a hi-fi system which I can just sit in front of for hours and be completely engaged.

I smoke more weed and then with eyes closed I listen to even more music.
Jokes aside, if you cannot find enough peace of mind to JUST listen, you need to learn to relax. Do some meditation with the music on, and try to find your zen-spot.

When time permits - I just listen!

Mostly, read or use the laptop

When using IEMS, I try to get actual work done around the house.

 

[Barock]

Indeed, just listen. Or maybe eat, drink or smoke (a cigarette), but nothing too distracting. If you get bored listening maybe you ought to consider some other music or widening your selection..

 

[craiglester]

I listen at work, on the bus, and sometimes doing yardwork..

 

[yinlok]

Use headphone, I 'll close my eyes and feel with the music
