Music is one of the most potent drugs on earth.

The right music can energize us, help us unwind, put us to sleep, promote creativity, change our mood, and even give us an extra dose of motivation. From a work standpoint, research has found that music aids in increasing productivity and performance,  making repetitive tasks easier and helping us escape our physical settings from time to time. That said, we went on a hunt for the best music for staying productive in your daily workload.

We narrowed our findings down to eight ready-made Spotify playlists that we know for sure will get your blood and productivity flowing—these are in no particular order.

Thank us later.
