The rise of focus music 

This genre is experiencing an upswing, partly because it improves productivity.

Many of us were using focus music long before it had an official name or any trending playlists. Jazz and downtempo have been my go-tos for tuning out distractions and centering on the task at hand since my college days. Today, more people are gravitating toward this music and its ability to boost concentration—no question that it’s going mainstream. Focus music can be defined as anything that helps you pay attention, reduce distractions, and maintain productivity.
