This is a playlist I curated when I needed to focus. I am fortunate enough to work from home, but doing that comes with its own outside ambiance and activities. Trying to work amidst a bomb threat and helicoptors flying outside my window for 5 hours wasn’t the greatest of circumstances to help me get in my zone– no really, this actually happened. This was the primary reason why I put this together…that day I needed something to distract me from all of that noise and become more productive, to help me create this sort-of big calm. Whether it’s wind-down hours, relaxing after a long day, or even something to slap right before a meeting or interview, this playlist will get me there; in my zone, calm and collected.
