My top 5 playlists for focussed work
If you are at all like me then sometimes it can be hard to focus. I have written here about ways in which we can change our environment to make it more effective. I have also commented that sometimes, listening to music whilst we work, can be an effective way to cover any distracting noise and trigger a focussed work state where we really get stuff done.
Our tastes in this area will be different. I have also read that as long as you are consistent enough, it may be possible that you can train your brain to react positively to any style of music. I have no intention of testing this out.
Here are my top 5 playlists for focussed work. There are all Spotify links but I get nothing if you click them. Some of these playlists are not mine, and where I remember where I got them from, I will say.
1. Study with me

This I picked up from Ali Abdaal and some of his publicly available content. It is mostly instrumental music and features a lot of stuff from some fantastic movies and TV shows. I find this focusses my really quickly.
2. LOTR/The Hobbit
