Note that I’m not affiliated or sponsored by Spotify in any way. The app has been so helpful to me especially during the pandemic, because everything seems to be better with music. For me, the best part about Spotify is that you’re in control. So skip that depressing track, pause if you need to talk, or replay that upbeat song.
Best Spotify playlists for your morning
A bit of trivia: Spotify checked their stats and found general trends in how people from different countries started their day. People from the UK and US generally wake up and exercise while Canadians and South Africans preferred to chill in the morning. It’s interesting to see this info and know that what we listen to offers insight into how we go about our daily routines.
Wherever you’re from however, you will have different moods and habits that may change on some days. Find it hard to get out of bed? Super pumped and excited to exercise?
