The Perfect Playlist for Your Morning Commute

I hate commuting with every over-caffeinated cell in my body. I’ve been commuting for four months now, and I’ve learned a few things. One, I’m the only competent driver on the interstate; two, drinking coffee while driving is dangerous but necessary; and three, good music is the only salvation offered. The morning talk shows simply don’t make the drive any more tolerable, so that means you absolutely need a kick-ass playlist to lean on.

Big projects, meetings with your boss, presentations, and long to-do lists will feel like a breeze after jamming out to this playlist. Here are 20 songs to inspire, awaken, and simply pump you up (Arnold voice) for the workday ahead. Go on, let the self-confidence wash over you while you belt out the lyrics.
