Stay connected with music.

A key to working from home is good music. Spend time creating and curating playlist in your favorite music streaming service. You need two types of playlists – one to focus and another to get you motivated.

How you listen to your music will influence your selection. I love wearing earphones even when I’m alone because it cancels other distracting sounds. My work environment has voice-activated devices which are great for when I want to share my musical selection.

When I host a conference call with co-workers (based on familiarity) I will have background music playing when people log in. If you are trying to keep team morale will working remotely, have people share their playlist or a song especially mid-day.

Here are two playlists, in high rotation in my streaming service.
