Workplace playlist

1. Concentration

Research says coffee shop sounds improve concentration - those hipsters got something right! Coffitivity is a website which produces coffee shop ambiance to help you focus. Classical music has been known to do the same and we recommend Pachelbel's Canon in D Major. For something more contemporary go for Radiohead's Nude or Max Richter's Infra 5.

2. Presentation/ long meeting

Yes we know what you are expecting here. But just to spice things up, start out with Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes. If you want something more mellow, go for Bryan Adams indomitable You Can't Take Me. Queen's We Will Rock You is a great song to get pumped up. If all else fails, there's always Survivor's Eye of the Tiger.

3. WANT TO KILL YOUR BOSS (BUT CAN'T)

Angst? What other than Nirvana's Lithium? Or if you are feeling particularly like a sociopath - go for the Moriarty-ish Thieving Magpie by Rossini. There's always Flyentology by EI-P feat Trent Reznor for something more recent.

4. Do the happy dance

So everything went according to plan for once and you want to kick back and revel in your glory? U2's It's a Beautiful Day or Louis Armstrong's It's a Wonderful Life convey the same sentiments. If you want something more cocky, play U Can't Touch This by MC Hammer and try to do those fancy dance moves.
