i do use music for a lot of different areas, but i, too, need not to be distracted. i found several MP3 albums on Amazon for "dedicated readers" which only have music and no lyrics. it is classical. my favorite provider just came out with album #10 which is very good. a bit uplifting - not charging - and so you keep up a good pace and don't mellow out too much. each of the albums i have purchased has been a bit different enough that getting a new album (about 99 cents US for 24-25 songs/tracks) can allow me to pick the pace it will set to suit my task. cleaning the bathroom requires a bit of a celtic stomp the foot type. you can test them out by listening to the samples. you don't get much but it gives you an idea about the spirit of the music. i have all 10 and have found the ones i like best for what i am doing. i think they are range from an hour to at least two hours. i download them to my computer, cell phone and my tablet. just a thought and something to give you pleasure. i play the samples on my computer while i do something else on the computer and it is a distraction but i find my shoulders do stay low while i am doing the tense seek and find missions.
