The Best Spotify Playlists for Students
How Do You Best Study, Read or Write?
Are you someone who needs music or do you prefer complete silence? Do you camp out in the “quiet section” of the library or are you best when you’re surrounded by background noise? Regardless of your preferences, Spotify has the best playlists for all -- they even have a whole section of their curated playlists dedicated to “Focus.”
I know for me, and for many college and graduate students, I need music to be most productive. There are times when I can listen to a playlist with my current favorite hits, but most often I find myself gravitating towards instrumentals or piano tunes for background noise when I need to focus on something important.
The type of playlist that works best for you is totally based on your personal preferences. The important thing to remember is the best way to study, write and/or read is in an environment that will reduce your levels of stress and anxiety. People are most productive when they feel relaxed (and inspired), and the type of music you decide to play, or not play, can affect these feelings.
Our Cap & Co. team compiled playlists that Spotify offers that ranges all genres, moods, and beats, so that you’re bound to find at least one that perfectly fits your needs.
