15 Best Motivational Songs To Get Stuff Done!

I used to have music on in my house all day long.  Then I realized that a lot of noise is a huge anger trigger for me.  So, now I keep it off most days.

But there are times when I need some great tunes to get me going.  Especially when I have a ton to do.

15 Motivational Songs to Get Stuff Done

Have you ever stopped after a busy day and noticed the laundry piled up on the floor, the dishes in the sink, the toys strewn all over the house, and thought to yourself….

“It’s time to Rally!”

“Let’s get stuff done!”

or

“Crap, how am I ever going to get this house clean?!”

Either way, we need motivation.  We need songs that will get us moving!

I asked for some great songs to get me motivated on my Facebook page.  Oh man, did you guys come through.

Post by Dirt and Boogers.

I took all of your suggestions and added  few more of mine and now I have an AMAZING playlist that I use anytime I need to get stuff done.

It’s quite the hodge podge of songs.  I don’t know many lists have both “Light Em Up” from Fall Out Boy and “Happy Together” from the Turtles, but that’s what makes it fun.  I hope that even if you don’t like ALL the songs, that you find a few that will get you motivated!

    Nothing gets done in my house without RuPaul’s “Supermodel (You Better Work)”… great for working out or cleaning house!

    I rock out to 80’s dance songs when I clean. My boys hate it! lol. I tell them the sooner the cleaning is done, the sooner the music goes off. Its a great motivator 🙂

    I donn’t know WHERE the word “strategist” came from in my first post, but it was supposed to be “start hipping it up.” Darn spell check……..

    I am a big fan of Pharrell Williams, Because his all some are awesome!

    It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
    Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
    I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
    With the air, like I don’t care, baby, by the way.
