If you are anything like me, the afternoons seem more productive with a cup of coffee and some inspiring music running through my ear buds. Sometimes, you need to perk yourself up to power through that project.
Here are some songs I like to listen to when I’m in an afternoon slump:
1. “Roar” by Katy Perry.
Because you’ve got the eye of the tiger and you are a champion (in case you forgot).
2. “This Girl is On Fire,” by Alicia Keys.
You are on fire. Ouch. Now, get down with your work self.
3. “Wake Me Up,” by Avicii
Because you can’t fall asleep at work.
4. “The Best Song Ever,” by One Direction.
You pretend that you don’t like them. But, who doesn’t want to dance all night to the best song ever. (And, dance on top of your desk, like in the music video.)
5. “Can’t Hold Us,” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
Put your hands up… or maybe keep them on your keyboard. And be inspired.
6. “Babel,” by Mumford and Sons.
So many good string instruments.
7. “Flower in Your Hair,” by The Lumineers
Because you gotta throw a fun love song in there.
8. “I Will Be Found,” by John Mayer
Keep going. You got this work day.
9. “Treasure,” by Bruno Mars.
Because you are fine so fine.
10. “Million Dollar Bills,” by Lorde.
Because that’s what you deserve to make, but Lorde puts things into perspective.

Bonus: “I Got You,” by Jack Johnson
