With the advent of streaming music and the multitude of convenient media devices such as the iPod, listening to music while working has become common place. I listen to music at work, and it’s great. However, there is one pet peeve that really bothers me: Getting my headphones all tangled up as I worked. Regardless of how careful I am, they always seem to end up with at least five knots in the cord. Luckily, Lifehacker has posted an article on How to keep your headphone wires from getting tangled..

Give it a shot, I’m going to try it this afternoon since once again, my headphone wires closely resemble some intricate sailing knot.

Contrary to popular belief, just because you have headphones on doesn’t mean that nobody can hear the music you are listening to. If you turn the music up really loud, and your headphones aren’t that great, you can be certain that your next door neighbor is probably hearing everything that you are. It’s always a good idea to ask your neighbors at work if you are playing your music too loud. They’ll appreciate the concern and maybe you’ll hold on to your hearing for a few more years.
