O.K. my new-year resolution is to clean up, and get rid of....
I am a keeper of ALL things. I need help with some songs to help me get moving...keep me focused....and in the mood. I have 16 years of "junk" collected in a tiny little house!!!

I listen to ABBA or the Grease Soundtrack. They are pretty upbeat and keep me going.

Congrats on deciding to take control of your life instead of possessions. This represents a major growth point in your life. My dad used to say that you spend the first half of your life acquiring things and the second half getting rid of them.
I love marching music because it is walkable and upbeat. Your chronological age may have nothing to do with your musical tastes, by the way. But if you have always had music as a backdrop for your life, choose wisely.
Music with happy associations and positve memories are best. If you broke up with an old love and "your" song was from ABBA, then that would not be a good choice! If your parents loved Big Band and Swing and you have happy childhood memories, then go for it. The world is your oyster!
Another thought--take pix of the neatest stuff that you "saved" (for what?--you gotta ask yourself). If it turns out that nothing is worth photographing, then you will definately KNOW what is a priority in your life from now on.
Local charity shops are a good place for the stuff that no longer belongs in your life. This is a win-win because you get to feel good twice, once when you clear out and again when you know that some worthy cause continue to do its good work.

Try out The Ramones. If you are not into the punk rock music this will work anyway as they are so darn good. Will move you to just flash away all those pieces of junk so you will then have a uncluttered house. Also recommend that you get some sort of Zen music...for after-wards you will enjoy the task that you did all the more....LOVE the idea of simplicity in a small environment. GOOD LUCK...

Have you heard any of the 50's music? A friend gave me an album of the music. It makes you move..you can't even sit still.
I put this music on when I have any kind of cleaning to do, even
ironing. I hardly notice that I am cleaning because I am so into
the music. I think there are Oldies, but goodies stations on the
radio too. Try it you'll like it!!
