I've been realising more and more that I need music, or certain types of music to push through something I need to do. Working in silence (with undiagnosed ADHD/whatever's happening up there) leaves too much room for boredom, so I suppose the music acts as a stimulus to keep going.
When I have to do something as menial as chores or housework, I put on headphones and crank a mix of tracks from the Tekken games. Nothing like blasting Tag 1's rousing, electro-rock-D&B intro to start washing the fat stack of dishes from last week. 😁
When it’s thinking work, I listen to ‘background’ audio e.g., game soundtrack, nature/cafe sounds. If it’s manual work then I like a podcast or news radio.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
At my previous job, I was able to justify two pairs of wireless earbuds because I could switch without stopping the music when the batteries ran out. If I wasn’t on the phone or in a meeting, I had music going.
