In this age of endless information and clutter, productivity Nirvana has been searched for by so many, yet achieved by so few. While there is no ultimate solution that fits everybody, there are various processes and tools which have differing levels of impact for different people.
Noisli is one of these tools. It’s basically a background noise generator that helps you drown out annoying noises and that lets you create your perfect environment for working and relaxing. Noisli allows you to mix different sounds to create your very own sound environment tailored to your personal needs and taste. If you are one of those people who try out some new music playlist or radio station every week, Noisli might cater to your needs. In fact, I wrote this very article while Noisli was playing in the background.
Let’s have a look at its features.
Sounds
Noisli features 13 environment looped sounds and three additional noises (White Noise, Brown Noise, Pink Noise). The fun thing is that you can activate one or more sounds and change the relative volume to create an always different, pleasing sound environment.
Timer
Noisli also offers a Timer function, which you can use to implement time management methods such as the Pomodoro Technique. It’s said to be a more efficient time management approach that cuts down on distraction and prevents burnout.
You can use the Timer to break down work into different sessions, traditionally 25 minutes in length separated by short breaks of five minutes. After four sessions you should take a longer break of 20 to 30 minutes.
Bonus: If you activate the “Fade out” function, the sound will gently stop and fade out at the end of the timer.
