When you're working from home, it might be difficult to stay focused all day long. There are just so many distractions nearby from food in your kitchen, to your bed in the next room, to your pup who is super happy you didn't leave for the day. It becomes essential that you have a WFH playlist on your phone filled with work from home songs you can jam to every day.
That way, when you hear certain tracks you may think, "Let's get this task done," or "I've got this." You're filled with inspiring ideas, and have a lot of motivation to do your best and not climb back into bed with your SO who's still snuggled up in the sheets. Instead, you're happily writing up reports, checking in with your co-workers via email, and completing the tasks you wrote down in your planner the day before.
The best part? That energy is coming from a bunch of songs you may or may not know the lyrics to, but fuels you just the same. Every beat, tone, or riff makes you feel on top of the world, even though you're chilling in your desk chair with your laptop. Here are the 10 songs you should add to your WFH playlist right now. Let the jams begin.
First things first: Log onto your laptop and queue up this track from Alexander 23. It perfectly describes what life is like in the digital age, and will keep you company while you type away at your assignments. Follow along with the lyric video if you want to learn the words, and also feel validated for having too many folders on your laptop screen.
Justin Bieber might be the king of catchy tracks, and this one will definitely have you jammin' throughout the day. Whether you're in a routine of making coffee, going on your lunch break at noon, and signing off at 4 p.m., or not, it'll make working from home feel more comfortable. It'll get you in the habit of working in sweatpants and conquering every step of your career.
If you're in need of some serious motivation, look no further than this track from Taylor Swift. It reminds you to own your talents and power, and be fearless in everything you do. Don't forget to celebrate all of your victories — big and small — even if you're not in an office filled with co-workers.
Adjusting to the WFH life may have taken you a minute, but that's OK. You're crushing it now. You'll find a balance between taking breaks and tackling major projects. In a week or so, you'll be saying, "Look at me now!"
Are you sitting at your laptop when you're working from home with wet hair from the shower and your cozy sweatpants on? Same. Embrace it, find your routine, and remember that a lot of people are in the same boat as you.
