Hello everyone, hope you are all doing well on this lovely Monday. I am doing great after a fun weekend of music and dancing. My hubby is learning to dance with me and I could not be happier. I might have a bit of part time work coming up that i would enjoy and it would make my hubby relax a little about money. Life is really good today.

When I was out on the dance floor this weekend I realized how much music motivates me. I hate cleaning but if I do it with some music it makes it easier and I get things done faster. I listen to my mp3 player to make yard work go faster and I love to drive with some great cruising tunes. So why did I never think about working to music?

I think it is because somewhere along the line it was drilled into my head that music was a distraction and there was no way it could make you more productive. This may be true for a large portion of the population but for me it is all in the music I choose. Rob Zombie, who is my favorite musician, is not going to do the trick but a swing music station or a blues station are great for me.

I have been rather productive this morning sticking to the chosen tasks rather than my usual jumping around from one thing to the next. I just stop for a few seconds and close my eyes and listen when I am tempted to do something else. I would guess it is like a quick meditation on what I am supposed to do. Why music helps me do everything in my life with more enthusiasm I really don't know but now that I know it works I am going to keep it up.
