Music to declutter by

15 June 2009

In my newsletter, which goes out today, I mention the power of focus and how by setting a timer for a short period of time, I can get a lot done. (This is a refrain here on the blog too). I also mentioned that sometimes instead of (or in addition to) a timer, I’ll play a playlist of songs that ends after a set period of time.

So I decided today, at the risk revealing embarrassing personal information, to share what’s on my iTunes playlist called “Clean the office for 30 minutes.” Here it is:

  • I’m No Angel, Gregg Allman
  • It’s a New Day, will.i.am
  • I Sing the Body Electric (from the Fame soundtrack), Eric Brockington
  • Little Red Corvette, Prince
  • Feeling Good, Michael Buble
  • Fantasy, Earth Wind & Fire
  • Borderline, Madonna

All these songs make me move and make me happy. And, together, they add up to 31.2 minutes.

How about you? Do you have songs you like to declutter by?

P.S. Don’t miss out on the $40 discount for the Declutter Happy Hour e-course—it expires on Wednesday!

I frequently play music as well when organizing. Here are a few of my faves:

You and I, Jason Mraz
Geek in the Pink, Jason Mraz
(I really like him!)
Don’t Ask Me Why, Billy Joel
I’m Still Standing, Elton John
Heal the Pain, George Michael

To see what needs to change, Huey Lewis’ “Bad is Bad”. To focus forward, Seal’s “My Vision”.

Love your list!
