As a musician, it’s natural for me to listen to some type of music playlist while I’m in the office working. I certainly don’t restrict myself to any one genre. Lately, the biggest musical trend has been the rise of Lo-Fi. Lo-fi music is characterized as a type of downtempo hip-hop music known for being relaxing and hypnotic. Due to these qualities, students and professionals alike are listening to Lo-Fi playlists while working.
According to HBR.org, listening to music can boost workplace concentration, mood, and performance. Additionally, according to the BBC, it may even increase your productivity by up to 15%.
So, next time you need a pick-me-up to get you going, put your earbuds in or turn on your portable speaker, and listen to music while you work. I’ve even created two Spotify playlists to get you started.
