Songs That Help Me Be Productive

I had just gotten off a walk with my friend, and housework is staring at me like a hungry Hannibal Lecter.  Could I really vacuum out my couch?  The popcorn between cushions said it needed to be done — but my body.  Not so much.

In walks Mr Maroon 5.  In walks my headphones at a volume that I would normally yell at my kids for having it at.  Suddenly I’m dancing and vacuuming.  BTW, my vacuum is a fairly decent partner.  Here are my current songs that help me be productive

Here’s 5 songs that really get me going.  Hopefully they help you too!

1.  Maps by Maroon 5.  Where were you when I needed to vacuum? Haha.  I’m going to try to limit the Maroon 5 on this list, but I do really like that group.  I also like to sing along when he says “Following” in this song.  Tell me i’m crazy.  Thanks. 🙂

2.  Brave by Sara Bareilles.  This one is GREAT if I have a personal problem to mull through while I clean.  I mean seriously — if I actually SAID what I need to say…. well.  I probably would never stop talking.

3.  I Know Things Now from Into the Woods — honestly, ANY musical song that I know the words to by heart is good to go.  I am good to go with Wicked, Oklahoma, Into the Woods and of course — Frozen.  That isn’t to say I love all the songs, but I love “I Know Things Now” (do not put your faith in a cape and a hood).  I just think it has a good message. 🙂  There is just something about belting out a good show tune.  Maybe I was Ethel Merman in a former life?

4. Copacabana by Barry Mannillow — I love the songs of my youth.  Other favorites are most anything from Chicago or Sting.  I just like songs that remind me of good times.  Plus, this one is fun to dance to while dusting. 🙂

5.  The Man who Never Lied — I couldn’t finish the list without another one from Maroon 5.  There’s something about the beginning of this song where it goes left right {you’ll have to listen to it to understand what I’m talking about, but the song swiches from the left to the right side} that wakes up my brain.  Also, my husband consistantly lies about when he’ll be home.  It’s something I expect but when I’m in a mood about that…. well, you know.  Belt it out.  Me and Ethel.
