Spotify Playlists For All Work From Home Moods

Working from home has a lot of perks, but for me, getting to play music is one of the benefits I like the most. You can choose something for whatever mood you’re in at any time. Feeling lazy or tired? Play something cheerful. In a chill mood? Play some relaxing jazz or piano. However you’re feeling, there’s a playlist to get you going for the day! Need some recommendations? Here are the best Spotify playlists for all work from home moods.

Note that I will be separating the playlists with lyrics and with none. I personally prefer songs with no lyrics while working because hearing words distracts me, but if you’re doing something manual or routine, then you might prefer those with lyrics. And as to whether music really helps you work better, the answer is—it depends! I find it really helps me get motivated to start the work day. If you haven’t tried it yet or haven’t found the right music, try these playlists on for size!

1. Music for a happy work day

When you’re motivated and excited to start the day, you want your music to mirror that mood and keep your energy levels up. These are some of my favorite songs to play while working from home.

Without lyrics

• Happy Music by Cafe Music BGM channel – These cheerful, upbeat instrumentals will motivate you to work and move your hips while you’re at it. Why not? You’re at home anyway!
• Feel Good Piano by Spotify – Positive piano music that will make you read your 1,000 emails with a smile on your face.

With lyrics

2. Spotify playlists for focused work

From time to time (or most of the time), we need to put our game face on and give our best on those special projects or beat the deadlines. You’ll need the right type of music to help you concentrate. Start with these playlists. Note that I didn’t put any with lyrics for this one. Again, I find them a bit too distracting and can take your attention away from the task at hand.

3. Melodies for a chill day

On days when your calendar isn’t full, or when you’ve checked off most of your to-dos, put these songs on your speakers and take it easy! You deserve it.

4. Songs to play for when you’re feeling stressed out

When work is the last thing you want to do, but still have to, listen to these songs. They might help motivate you, or at least make you feel better. You might want to try these simple mood boosters that work instantly as well! And if you’re still not up to it, consider taking a mental health day!
