    I have a "productivity song", it's Ez3kiel album "LUX", which continues with "The Naphtaline Orchestra": when I turn it on, I'm productive... Then, depends on what we call productivity. For creativity and problem solving, I need to change my environment. For "basic" productivity, it's more about the personal energy than the environment, but a calm office will do: people around me but not too much noise...

    It is said that developers are night owls. But no more me. The only time I'm most productive is when I'm working with my co-founder.

    @imtiyaz922 It's great that you enjoy working with your cofounder, as you are most productive when they are around. I wonder how you work effectively when they are not around?

    Habit is my worst enemy. Depending on the project I'm working on and my humor, I adapt my environment and my schedule : day, night, quiet, music, remote, office, off-site... For instance, if I'm working on content creation for my website, I need to be quiet (remote or night or both). To plan a product launch, I need energy, so it will be with the whole team. If I need to be creative, I like to be off-site...
