When you work from home it can be easy to get distracted. You'll be tempted to check the news, answer emails or maybe even quit and go watch TV. ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) [what is ASMR?] content is designed to help you stay focused while still giving you enough variety and entertainment to keep you motivated throughout your day.

What I love about these playlists is the flexibility for you as a user, and how you want to set up your listening experience. You have multiple options, whether it’s having a YouTube tab open on your computer, or having these playlists beamed to your home hi-fi set up, it’s completely up to you. We’ve even had reports of ASMR being played at conferences or large events, which helps set the vibe. With just an internet connection and TV rentals, you could get this set up anywhere. Sound on for our recommendations on the best mood-boosting, productivity-peaking soundtracks to work to when you’re at home.
