Work Environment

My stereo system is one of the best purchases I have made. I think it is fair to claim that most of the work I have done while playing music in my apartment (or bedroom back in MN) has been positively influenced, yet it would be difficult-to-impossible to quantify this contribution. The music is more than just a silence-filler: it aids in the creation of a positive work environment. For some people, this can include hanging posters, drinking coffee/tea, or having a comfortable place to sit. I would have a hard time writing off a stereo system as a business expense, but it has been just as valuable for maintaining productivity as any other tool.
