Luckily, if you’re struggling to stay sane in your too-quiet (or crowded and distracting) at-home office, there’s something you can do about it. Fill the silence, get inspired, and recreate the energy of a creative, productive environment by downloading a podcast to listen to while you work. Not everyone can have a podcast (or music or a TV show) playing while trying to get work done, but many folks find that the added background noise helps boost their focus and make the hours fly faster. Especially if you’re working on something particularly menial or manual (like filling out a repetitive spreadsheet), listening to a podcast is a great way to pass the time while being entertained, catching up on news, or learning something new. By popping on a podcast, you get to decide what your “office” sounds like—something educational, inspirational, or white-noise-worthy? It’s up to you. Here are a few awesome podcasts you’ll love listening to on the clock.
