Here are some examples and how they would  help you at work: 

To enhance focus and productivity at work, consider instrumental or lo-fi music, or classical pieces with no lyrics. Songs that are upbeat and motivational, like "Eye of the Tiger" or "Happy", can also be helpful for boosting morale and energy. 

Instrumental and Lo-Fi Music:

• Classical music:

  Instrumental pieces are ideal for background music, allowing you to concentrate without the distraction of lyrics. 
• Ambient music:

  Ambient and post-rock music can help block out distractions and create a calming atmosphere for deep work. 
• Lofi beats:

  These beats provide a moderate rhythm that is both relaxing and engaging, making them suitable for various tasks. 
• Chill LoFi Study Beats:

  Specifically designed for study and focused work, these beats offer instrumental easy-listening to keep your brain engaged.

• "Happy" by Pharrell Williams: A popular choice for events and background music, this song is known for its upbeat and cheerful vibe.

I work as a truck driver, so I drive between 10-14 hours a day, so I love to put on road trip music and songs I can sing along to as that helps keep my mind active and break up the drive a little bit! My favourites are country songs, particularly Alan Jackson's Chattahoochee

Or something up beat like Sugar Cult's Memory

I have about 2,000 songs saved to my Spotify library so I know I always have something to listen to even if I'm not looking for something completely new to me!

Playing songs at work can differ alot for me. Depending ot what kind of mood I am in. But mostly I would say 80´s and 90´s Glam -/hardrock.

Thanks for sharing. I like listening to (slow) instrumental or vocal jazz music, but at work I also use it as background music. When driving, I prefer listening to music that certainly keeps me awake.

For me, the best work playlists are the ones I already know well—familiar tunes that don’t distract with surprises or catchy lyrics. I usually go for instrumental, lo-fi beats, or mellow acoustic tracks to keep my focus sharp.

I also find it really helpful to listen to music while planning my day. It puts me in the right mindset and makes organizing tasks feel less like a chore. Using a good planner while jamming to the right playlist? That’s a productivity win in my book.
