Get focused. Flow State is a newsletter focused on getting you focused. Each day they sent out an email at 3 am ET so you can start your workday with the essential work music.

It ranges all the way from jazzy beats and groovy funk to mild instrumentals with a touch of synth. You can even find Estonian classical artists from the 90s. If the music of the day doesn’t work for you, there is a very long library of flowy music to choose from to enhance your workday.
