Although not a precise song, while working, I like to alternate between two stations on Pandora: Sounds of Nature and Tango Alegre (Instrumental). When I’m feeling more distracted, I turn to the nature sounds.

The song that best captures how I want to be feeling right now (as opposed to how I usually do feel) is Kygo’s remix of Whitney Houston’s “Higher Love.” It’s nostalgic, uplifting, and great to dance to!
