Music can be perfect for driving with the top down or jamming out with friends, but did you know it has many benefits when listened to in the workplace? Whether it’s your favorite rock song or the most relaxing classical tune, music could be your ticket to success in the workplace.
Increased Productivity
According to a 2016 study, 79% of people can boost their productivity by listening to music. If you’re finding it hard to be productive at your office, turn on the tunes and you may just find that your work is basically finishing itself.
Reduced Stress
When the stress or anxiety seems to be growing, enjoying your favorite song or band can really help. Listening to music can have a tremendously relaxing effect on our minds and bodies, especially slow, quiet, classical music.
Increased Focus
Music can be the perfect way to drown out the noise and help you focus. It’s even said that classical music can be the best genre to listen to when trying to concentrate on the task at hand.
Improved Mood
In the hustle and bustle of any job, there’s sure to be days when your mood might lean on the side of grumpy or irritable. When we listen to music we really like, a chemical called dopamine is released in our brain, making us feel happy or content. Thankfully, this means you can just pop in your earbuds and listen to your favorite artist and that frown will likely turn upside down
So the next time you’re feeling stressed or need to focus, turn on your favorite song and get to work!
