From Zayn to Raisa, These 8 R&B Songs Will Be Perfect as Your Work Backsound

With everything being done at home since the pandemic, inspiration becomes more limited. The boring atmosphere in the room can worsen the situation and potentially decrease productivity.

A clever trick to increase creativity is to work while listening to music. You don't have to sing, having music as a background sound will make work more relaxing and you can hum along softly.
