Work Playlist: Set the Mood

Posted on by

Atmosphere in the workplace is everything– conditions have to be just right. The room can’t be too hot or cold, your chair has to have just the right amount of cushion, and your coffee takes half a splenda and just a splash of soymilk. So what plachristmas-music-notes-border-singing_8355-1ylist you choose to play in your office or at your desk really sets the tone of the environment and can foster or hinder productivity.

So what makes the perfect song to work to? Something mellow, yet upbeat enough not to put you to sleep; lyrically interesting and percussive, yet not distracting. Here is the playlist of songs I’ve been jamming to before happy hour.
