Start the day off with this morning playlist to help get you into the flow: no words, just good vibes, and beautiful instruments.

When you hear two sounds in each ear, your brain processes each at slightly different frequencies. These are called binaural beats. Studies have shown that they help improve performance, enhances focus, and aids in productivity.

Immerse yourself with the background sounds of a peaceful piano. This playlist promises to inspire you and keep you focused on getting your words down.
