Marcel is someone who needs some kind of background noise happening all the time. I am the complete opposite. In fact, when he’s working- like today, and I am home to take care of my own things- (like gathering tax information for my business and our personal taxes) I don’t hear anything except for the sound of birds, the occasional bark JJ will let out when he’s noticed birds outside that he doesn’t want near, little things like that. No Spotify (although I love it), no television, nothing.
It’s golden to me. There is something blissful about enjoying the quiet time- soaking up the sunshine, as I was happy to be able to do today. I tend to get more done that way, unless I’m in one of those moods where I find that loud music helps motivate me for cleaning- to get things done.
What about you? Do you prefer background noise- or can you enjoy the silence?
