🎵 Hi everyone! I added quite a few songs to the Productivity Playlist to get it started, but there are a few I would like to highlight! 🎵

I tried to pick a few oldies and a few newies that I think are great background music for work. I like that all of these aren’t overwhelmingly upbeat for work, but they aren’t so slow that you fall asleep either!

This is the hardest question ever posted in this group. Really, the music all depends on my mood and the project. Anyone who knows me knows how much trouble I have creating lists. Here are few that are in heavy rotation.

 

Could Have Been Me | Struts

Bleed It Out | Linkin Park

Born to Die | Lana Del Rey

Castle on the Hill | Ed Sheeran

“This is the hardest question ever posted in this group” has me laughing 😂 
I love your choices! Born to Die is amazing. I also recommend Lana’s West Coast and Brooklyn Baby if you like her music!

Sadly, I will not be able to contribute to this playlist: I am utterly unable to work, focus and be productive while music is playing in the background, even less with headphones on. I sing along, my mind starts to wander, I daydream. I’ve even been known to stand up and dance... It is hopeless.

I’ll be sure to check out the playlist while not working though! :)
