Whether you like to listen to music in the car, at work or while doing chores, we spend a lot of our time jamming to our favorite tunes. An article from Nielsen’s Music 360 2014 study says 93% of the U.S. population listens to music.
Naturally, we get tired of the same genre and over-played radio playlists and resort to Spotify or Pandora. This is why ROI Online has created the perfect playlist for you to power through your workday blues — our 2016 version!
Why You Should Listen to Music While Completing Tasks
Studies have shown that music in the workplace makes repetitive tasks easier to complete. The goal is to get more done in less time and get ahead, right? The problem we run into is getting motivated and staying disciplined. Music may be the answer to keeping you motivated and alert while at work.
Wonder why you love music so much? Let’s dive straight into the facts. When you listen to music, a part of your brain called the nucleus accumbens activates, triggering the release of the pleasure chemical dopamine. Dopamine is the same chemical that is released when you eat your favorite food, causing you to want more and more. Why wouldn’t you do something that makes you feel good and do better at your job?
Although most of us strive for a job and career that doesn’t feel like work, some tasks often put us in a bad mood. Music has shown to improve mood in the workplace.
Articles from PPL and PRS for Music say 77% of surveyed businesses say playing music in the workplace increases staff morale and improves the atmosphere. I know there is always that one throwback that can put me in a good mood.
Still not convinced? Listen to our diverse workday playlist and see for yourself.
