Finding the Beat in Clutter: The Musical Notes of Organisation

Have you ever experienced the transformative power of music, where a song not only shifts your mood but also influences your actions? I recently witnessed this enchanting connection at my late husband's speed shear event. As shearers competed for a $10,000 prize, the tempo of the music played a crucial role. When the beat reached its peak, the shearers unleashed their fastest times, culminating in a staggering record of 24.09 seconds. This awe-inspiring moment made me ponder the profound impact of music on our lives.

In my journey as a professional organiser, I've discovered that music is more than just background noise—it's a dynamic force that shapes our emotions, motivation, and overall well-being. When curating the perfect ambiance for decluttering and organising, choosing the right soundtrack can make the process not only enjoyable but also highly effective.

For those light, flowing moments when I'm flitting from room to room, gently straightening things out and restoring order, I turn to the enchanting melodies of Celtic music. The lively tunes create a dance-like atmosphere, inviting a twirl or a jig, often accompanied by the laughter of my daughter Bella.

However, on deep cleaning days, when I'm pulling furniture away from walls and diving into more strenuous tasks, the powerful beats of bands like Halestorm and Metallica become my anthem. The energy from these tunes seems to unlock hidden reserves of strength, allowing me to move furniture with newfound ease.

In moments that require intense concentration, soft, spacey music reminiscent of a yoga studio becomes my preferred backdrop. It helps me immerse myself in writing or reading, fostering a focused and serene atmosphere. Yoga Studio Playlist

The emotive influence of music extends to our decluttering processes. Consider what resonates with you—whether it's belting out show tunes at the top of your lungs (yes, my neighbors have probably heard me) or finding solace in a soulful country ballad. Let the melody guide your organising journey to create a harmonious and uplifting space.
