There is rarely a moment of silence at the office. Between the bells on the work floor and the moments when you are talking to colleagues, it is almost never silent. When you are at home behind your MacBook - especially when you do so without children - you are suddenly in a quiet room. A blessing for some, but most people prefer some noise in the background to total silence. To help you on your way, leapp has listed the five best Spotify playlists for working from home. Relax, focus and discover new music.
The Perfect Work Playlist (Updated Regularly)
Nice, quiet pop. Ideal to start your day with. Wake up with nice guitar music, work your mailbox empty with the quiet vocals. Drink your first cup of coffee or tea and start the day with a positive feeling!
The wrong hour Q Music
How nice is it to go wild with the best bad hits after a while of concentrated work? Sing along with Captain Jack, Daddy Cool, Wolter Kroes and finish with a round of chopping on Paul Elstak. You'll get some exercise right away!
Lofi hip hop music - beats to relax/study to
ChilledCow's YouTube channel had the longest livestream ever, until YouTube accidentally deleted the channel in late February 2020. For a while, the channel with a loyal following was big news.
The Youtube channel is now back online and ChilledCow has also created a Spotify playlist. Perfect for when you want to work focused. The dreamy beats without vocals are ideal to drown out the silence of your living room, allowing you to go into a deep work mode. You are guaranteed to experience productive hours with this!
Motivation Mix
Vary your musical diet. After a few hours of concentrated work, it is important to alternate with some more stimulating music. The Motivation Mix is exactly what its name suggests: a collection of up-tempo songs that immediately make you want to tackle that lousy job and finally cross it off. Go for it!
The Sims (Original Soundtrack)
Do you remember The Sims? The computer game where you could build endless houses and follow the lives of your virtual characters. When you played it you might not have realized it, but this game had a really nice soundtrack! The calm piano music and new age jazz that played during the building mode is perfect for working with concentration.
Composer Jerry Martin aimed to create songs that were as unobtrusive as possible. "It had to be relaxing and contemplative," Martin later said of the soundtrack. Coincidentally, his music is also great for working out. Warning: this playlist may bring on some serious nostalgia!
