Whether at home, or in the office, it’s very easy to get distracted throughout the day as a developer. Several distractions throughout your workday can be pretty costly. Not only can it increase your opportunity to make mistakes, but if you’re working on a tight deadline, distractions can lead to delays. Focused work is of the utmost importance when you want to increase productivity and efficiency. Music is one thing that helps me. To help improve my concentration during the day, I love to zone out to jazzy, lo-fi hip-hop beats. If you’re looking for some smooth beats to code to, look no further! Here are my top ten Spotify playlists for developers:
