When You Get to an Organizing Roadblock

I am sure that we have all hit a giant wall at some point in time where we are not motivated to do a dang gone thing, even though we know we have a ton of things to do! Cleaning out the garage, doing spring cleaning, taking things out to storage, cleaning out the closet, yuck! All of these things involve CLEANING! No wonder we aren't motivated to do it! I am not even going to go to the whole "excercise" routine! Makes me shudder to even go there!

However, when I am totally and completely unmotivated and when I need to get my butt in gear I do a couple of things.

1. I check out some great organizing websites that help to inspire me and give me some great ideas!
2. I throw on some great up beat music! Van Morrison, CCR, Bon Jovi, my Irish Jiggies!
3. Trip over my sons scooter that he left in the middle of the floor! - Nothing like a little pain to motivate you to clean!

Music is pretty self-explanatory. If you have some fun up-beat music that you absolutely love it can't help but put you in a wonderful mood.

As far as websites go, I have a couple that REALLY inspire me to clean and organize!
