1. Definitely turn off ArchiCAD sounds. In fact, after unchecking the "Enable ArchiCAD sounds" in Work Environment>More Options, put on a good set of wireless headphones and listen to music. I like both Pandora & Spotify.
2. Set data security to highest level (every step), with autosaves and backups, and then fuhgeddaboudit.
It's hard to get too stressed with your favorite music going.
