I have a secret to tell you, and it’s going to change your life.
You see, I have a special playlist on my iPod that only gets accessed once a week. I’m not allowed to listen to it unless I’ve got a mop in one hand and a roll of paper towels in the other.
It’s my Cleaning Playlist and it is AWESOME. It’s full of the most bop-inducing, groove-inspiring tunes known to man. It’s some of my favourite-ever music, even though I only ever listen to it while cleaning toilets and wiping down bookshelves.
Having an amazing Cleaning Playlist is beneficial for two reasons in particular:
a) I love it so much that I want to listen to it. All the time. But because I can only listen when cleaning – I am motivated to clean. I actually WANT to swipe that mould off my shower walls. I know, I know – crazy talk, right? WRONG. It works.
b) Excellent music means that I clean faster, with more energy, and finish much faster. Leaving me more time for the funner things in life, like cheese plates and wine.
So here we go. 7 of the songs on my playlist. I could tell you the others, but then I’d have to kill you. (Not really. But there are only so many Youtube videos I can include in the one article.)
