This document contains ideas from Team Brain Freeze on how music could be used to balance work and home life and reduce stress. Some of the ideas include an alarm clock that plays relaxing music when it's time to leave work, playing calming music over intercoms at certain times of day, and having musical reminders and rewards to encourage balancing work and personal life and completing tasks. The team suggests using music in various ways both at work and home through devices, alarms, activities and areas to help separate work and personal time and reduce stress.
