It is an accepted fact that people who listen to music in the office are more productive than those who do not. Productive working music varies. From Baroque work to anthems that will provide motivation, many different types have positive effects on employees and make the work more enjoyable.

Let’s briefly compile the most popular and preferred genres of productive music according to research;

 

White Noise:

 

If it is necessary for your work to ensure peace as in the womb, “White Noise”, similar to the hum in the womb, will be the right type of music for you.

If even the slightest sound in an office environment affects your concentration and lowers your motivation, white noise can be the right music to restore your productivity, offering a variety of options, from radio waves, rain, wind, and shower sounds. Its relaxing effect is also the reason why it is recommended for babies up to the age of 1.

 

Classical Music:

 

The work of increasing productivity with classical music, called the “Mozart Effect”, has had tremendous effects on part of the day, such as increasing productivity, making it easier to understand, and increasing IQ.

We do not think it would be a coincidence to capture inspiration with classical music at the stage of project creation. It is an undeniable fact that classical music, which has been the subject of many interesting studies including those that concern the cattle at the milking stage, has positive effects on the mind.

 

Nature Sounds:

 

If being positive, staying positive, and keeping concentration stable is important in your business, turning on nature sounds on Spotify and relaxing and not lowering your mood all day long will be beneficial for your productivity in your business.

Bringing the peace of nature to your office desk and maintaining your positive perspective throughout the day is possible by changing your music preferences with the sounds of nature. Close your eyes and feel in the midst of nature.

 

Instrumental Music:

 

If you say that the lyrics of songs distract me, instrumental songs may be more suitable for you. A song does not need words to keep you focused anyway. It is just that music is very effective in itself, being a mind-opening tool.

Although there are studies proving that students who listen to instrumental music are more successful than those who do not listen, there are also studies that claim otherwise and admit that they do not have an effect.

 

Feel Good/Motivational Songs:

 

If you want to take the microphone in your hand and sing, you are listening to the right song. From anthems to rock, rap, or pop songs, we can consider all feel-good songs that get stuck in one’s mind in this category.

If you have a workload that never decreases, if being able to leave the office is just a dream, or if you are doing a job that is reflected in the score on the field all day, such songs will make you feel very good so that your energy increases, and you feel fully motivated.

 

Video Game Soundtracks:

 

Video games are entertainment tools that require full concentration when having fun.

While this is the right method for many employees as it makes you think like you are in your leisure time and also allows you to integrate the speed and attention in the game into your work, finding the right music is very important for it to work for you.

Listening to music in the office is an important method to concentrate on what you are doing. It is also a method that improves your creativity by allowing you to use your brain functions more effectively and in a targeted manner. Listening to productive working music will make it easier for you to focus and concentrate on your work.
