Would you rather be doing your ironing, or relaxing outside on a sunny day enjoying the fresh air?

No matter what work-related tasks you're doing, whether it's ironing, paying the bills, filing papers or clearing out your inbox, chances are you'd rather be doing something else. That's just natural.

Just being organized in itself, will allow you to enjoy more sunny days, your favorite hobbies, your family and friends and everything else you enjoy, just by helping you get the work-related tasks done more efficiently.

One of the ways I use to get those work-related tasks done a lot quicker is to make those tasks more enjoyable to do.

Now, I know you're probably thinking that there's no way to make ironing more exciting. It's boring. It's a drudgery.

The trick is to make the task you're doing not boring, but something you could actually tolerate--or even enjoy.

For instance, when I fold laundry, I generally do so while watching something interesting on television. Obviously, it's easy to fold and watch TV at the same time. I actually associate folding laundry with giving myself a TV break. I get to enjoy a program and get my task done at the same time.

Jenny, one of our newsletter readers told me that when she's dusting, she puts her favorite 'dusting music' on. To her, 'dusting music' meant loud, energetic, dance-type music. She said, 'I barely feel like I'm dusting, and I even get my husband to join my dusting party on occasion. It's so much fun!'

Kevin, another one of our readers, tells me he used to hate washing the car. But one day his 7-year old son asked him if he could help out, and ever since then, Kevin washes the car with his son once every week. Kevin said, 'It gives me the time to talk to my son and share his life on a regular basis. My son just loves it. In fact, to make it even better, we always go out for a soda or ice cream cone afterwards. It gives us something special to look forward to each week.'

Another reader, Ally, used to hate to file in work, so it would constantly pile up. She determined that one of the reasons she wasn't filing was because the file folders were worn, tattered and smelled very musty. She dreaded even the thought of it. Then, Ally decided to toss those old file folders and she went out and got herself some new file folders--in pink, her favorite color! Ally said, 'What an enormous difference it made. It's amazing how such a small thing can change your attitude. I never have piles of filing to do anymore. I do it on a daily basis!'

Still dreaming about being outside on those nice, sunny days? Take your work outside with you. Who says you can't pay bills, read correspondence, work on your laptop, or sew those missing buttons on that shirt you've been meaning to get to. That work will be easier, if it's in an enjoyable environment.

Whenever you're dreading something that needs to be done, just think of possible ways you could make it better. With just a little bit of thought and creativity, you can make virtually any task less daunting, and even more joyful!

For super quick details on how you can sing better than you ever imagined, visit:

Have you ever found yourself alone, singing a song...maybe out of tune... only to realize a co-worker or family member listening and making fun of your ability? Or maybe it was an insensitive joke, like: 'Don't give up your day job.'

We shrug these things off and pretend they don't bother us, but it hurts and it ruins our joy of singing.

On the other hand, you may be very excited to know that, within a matter of weeks, you could...

Be singing so incredibly well, with power and expression...that you'll not only thoroughly impress your friends and family, but feel amazing about yourself and your ability as well!

This leads me to something really good that I know you're going to love. If you've ever wanted to learn how to sing (or to sing better), this singing course is head and shoulders above the rest...it's called Singorama.
