Overachiever's Motivation Mix

The Smartsheet Overachievers are here to give you the songs that will keep you going and keep you achieving! Here’s what’s on the playlist right now.

Charli XCX - Von Dutch

“This song makes a regular appearance on many of my own motivational playlists, from the treadmill to the shower to the oh-so-common afternoon power hour. The track has a high energy vibe and makes great use of repetition across both lyrics and beats to help you reach and maintain a steady work flow. It also helps that the lyrics are pretty self-empowering. I think we can all relate to imposter syndrome from time to time so it’s nice to have a voice in your head saying “you know what, maybe I am the fantasy.” 

I hope y’all give it a listen, get to feel your oats, and pick up the mantra: I’m your number one! I’m your number one!”

@Mikah Torres, Project Manager of Retail Media at The Home Depot + current Overachiever (learn more about Mikah here)

Newsletter visual Dec..png

Recently, I was lucky enough to go dolphin watching in Portugal. This was an amazing experience, and my favourite part was seeing them bow riding - it was like watching them surf, and I could have stayed there watching them all day long. They just seem so happy and always seem to be having fun!

I’ve also enjoyed seeing a lot of live music recently, both in my local town and in London. However, one night when I was due to go to a gig in my local town, I started receiving alerts about the Northern Lights potentially being visible that night. I’d missed them in the UK when they were visible in May this year, so I’d downloaded all the aurora apps and followed whoever seemed to be in the know on social media to try and get the best chance of catching them when they returned. 

As you can imagine then, the potential of the aurora showing themselves on a night I’d be stuck inside with no windows was a bit of a blow! Luckily, the gig (which was really good and I’m glad I didn’t skip!) finished with amazing timing, and the venue was close enough to the seafront for my friend and I to go down and check out the clear night sky - which was pitch black to the eye when we got there, so we thought our aurora hunting might be disappointing. But my phone camera (with the right settings) revealed the most amazing sights!

Eventually, a red tinge to the sky was visible to the naked eye, but I wouldn’t have thought too much of it if I hadn’t found out about the right phone camera settings (what would we do without technology?! And what would we do without people helping us to use technology in the best way?!).

The lights got stronger later in the evening when I was home, too, so I stayed up a little too late taking hundreds of pictures, but it was SO worth it! I’ve been to Iceland before, but the lights were shy during my stay, and although they did come out of hiding one night, they were nothing like what I was able to see from the local beach and from my own garden!

👉 Top tip: When submitting a Product Idea, first search here to check if someone else has already posted the same or a similar idea - if they have, you can add your vote and, if you want, a comment to explain why it would help you!
