Upbeat work playlist Spotify

With a myriad of things to think about amidst the ongoing global health and economic crisis, it’s become a challenge to resist the multitude of distractions that arise on a daily basis, dragging your focus away from being productive at work. Luckily, there are various tools you could use to help you in your battle against the temptations of procrastination, one of which is music.

Spotify houses approximately 50 million songs you can listen to for free, or under a paid subscription. Among these are dozens of thousands of playlists you can listen to in order to help you get that work energy pumping and boost your productivity at work. More than improving the overall ambiance of your designated workspace, good music also has a ton of other benefits you can take advantage of.

According to an open academic journal called Frontiers in Psychology published last February 2020, listening to upbeat music with tempos of over 170 beats per minute can have a psychophysiological effect on your body, therefore significantly improving your endurance during exercise. Simply put, the release of happy hormones in your body during this process highly increases your energy and focus, and decreases your chances of experiencing fatigue. Following this logic, if high-tempo music can achieve this kind of psychophysiological effect on a person’s body, then it is highly likely that it could also bear good results for a person’s productivity levels when at work.

Over the years, classical music has been considered a popular choice when it comes to boosting productivity – and rightly so, because it does, in fact, help your mind relax, forget about worries for a while, ignore the distractions that arise, and focus on the tasks you are supposed to do for the day. While this is so, there are also a variety of other alternatives that could energize and engage you at work just as well. There might be a ton of things that are distracting you today, but with the help of these productivity-inducing playlists you can find on Spotify, you’re sure to be well on your way to completing your tasks for the day with laser focus.
