From April 5, working from home will no longer mandatory for workplaces in Singapore. But if you’re returning to the office – especially after nearly a year of WFH – this transition might be a little challenging at first.
To help you get back into the work-from-office groove, here are seven tried-and-tested Spotify playlists that will give you a productivity boost!
Anyone who uses TikTok will be familiar with this genre of music. The signature off-beat tempo and chill vibes make it a great choice when you need to work with some music. There are no vocals in the songs which helps you focus on your work. But if you’re looking for some light vocals, artistes like Kina and Shiloh will be right up your alley.
This one is for the times when you just want to bash your head into the keyboard. Work can get frustrating sometimes, but this playlist is sure to get you right back into the grind.
If post-rock is your kind of genre, then this will be your go-to playlist. The occasional electric guitar riff blends in nicely with the peaceful ambience music – creating a soothing pace that flows throughout the playlist.
This feel-good, soft rock soundtrack brings to mind a relaxing “road trip vibe” – great for the creative thinking process.
Imagine yourself sitting in a cafe bustling with people, with the afternoon sun shining on your table and sipping on a fine cup of coffee as you do your work. That’s basically what the uplifting jazz tunes and soulful vocals are all about. While we can’t physically be at a cafe during office hours, it doesn’t hurt to imagine!
For those who want a change from the usual classical piano songs, this unique blend of piano, hip-hop and jazz could be what you’re looking for. Featuring artistes like Toonorth as well as the late Nujabes, the upbeat tempo of this playlist will help you push through your workday.
Maybe it’s just us, but there’s something very soothing about John Mayer’s music. From old songs like “Gravity” to newer hits such as “New Light”, this alternative rock crooner is a real crowd pleaser.
