Sébastien Portebois Has explained it about as well as I could have, when I said "music" I didn't mean any kind of music (although that's certainly it's own thing) But mostly when coding I tend to listen to either Music without Lyrics (soundtracks, cello, compositional ambient, drone, minimal music... etc indeed) or in a language I don't understand.
Some of these depend on the person / situation but here goes. Psychological, Emotional Music or some other way to drown out ambient noise, invest in headphones, you'll be wearing them a lot and maybe for extended periods and they need to be comfy Make sure you know your tools (IDE, Debuggers, etc) and are comfortable with them. It helps a bunch when you at least know what you're doing there. Techniques that let you manage your own time (Pomodoro for example) are great in making sure you don't burn out on an issue or solutions you're trying to tackle. Always keep in mind that people smarter then yourself have gotten stuck on easier things then you're currently on. ;) When in doubt, ask other people, discuss, talk. Physical Make sure you have a good chair / desk, I prefer to have the option to switch between standing / sitting for example. Get away from your desk, walk, stretch, get sunshine. Make sure you have a good keyboard. Try to let go of your mouse as much as possible it might be personal preference or your IDE that lets you use it a bunch but trust me, after 10+ years of working as a Full time Developer you WILL feel pains in your wrists eventually. Exercise outside of work.. when you're sitting for extended periods of time or even alternating between sitting you're still doing something we humans are not meant to do. Make sure you are hydrated.
