What Does Getting Organized Sound Like?
In the organizing profession, we often ask our clients what organization looks and feels like to them. It helps to create a vision for the project and is a great motivator. But what does it sound like?
Do you need an extra inspirational kick in the pants to get organized? NAPSI recently posted this article on Music to Get Organized By. Among the recommendations are classic titles such as “Come Together” by the Beatles along with more recent songs for getting in the groove like Sheryl Crow’s “A Change Would Do You Good” or “Throw It All Away” from Brandi Carlile. And, yes, even the Queen of Pop makes the list with “Express Yourself”. My personal fave for getting started is “Feeling Good” by Michael Buble.
I’d love to hear what music gets you motivated…whether it’s for a getting organized, going for a run, working out, whatever. What does inspiration sound like to you?

Since I do a lot of work helping clients organize their thinking and making compelling plans, one of my current favorites is Seal’s “My Vision”. (I’m worn out on the theme from “Rocky”!)

Also, KT Tunstall’s “Suddenly I See” — excellent motivator!

Hi Margaret,
Great additions! I think I will compile these for my own “Organization Motivation” ipod playlist.
