How To Use Celine Dion As a Productivity Tool

Posted on 04. Jul, 2008 by in Self Improvement

If you want to take better photos, check out my other blog, Expert Photography.

Time management and productivity are areas we all struggle with from time to time, but I have found the key to being able to work like you have a rocket up your ass. It involves Celine Dion, but don’t let that put you off.

Step One

First you need to put some of your favourite music onto your computer. Use songs that inspire you, make the hairs on your neck stand on edge, and fill you with adrenaline.

Step Two

Secondly, load all these great songs onto a playlist with your default media player.

Step Three

Onto the end of the playlist, add some Celine Dion songs.

The Result

Not only will you be inspired by all the great music, you will essentially have created a ticking timebomb, afterall, if you don’t finish your project in time, the bomb will go off and you will have to suffer through Celine Dion wailing like a strangled cat.

What more motivation could you need?

I need to get back to work, I am only three tracks away from that damn Titanic song.

    If you like Celin Dione, then simply replace it with goth music ;-)

    Or how about The Top 50 World Cup Songs?

    Nothing like an impending 3 hours of “singing” by tone-deaf footballers to get you motivated …

    Either that or Joe Dolce’s Shaddup A Your Face on permanent loop.

    This is just perfect. I will have mine rolling in no-time. Its either finish writing this chapter of the book or Hanson singing MMmm Bop at me!

    Another great one I have found is that you find something on ebay that you really want, but that runs out within the time you’ve designated that piece of work you keep avoiding. But you cant get over to ebay to check and update your bids until you’re done. If you’re too slow you’re going to lose the bid! Now THAT is happy bidding.

    I think there’s a book in this as I’m sure you have many more crazy productivity ideas.

    “Fun Ways to Stop Being a Lazy Ass”

    …I want a percentage ;)

    The only thing worse than listening to Celine Dion is watching her.

    I would rather have pins stuck into my eyeballs than have to listen to he music….

    Craig,

    It was partially inspired by our chat last night… all current productivity concepts involve to-do lists, charts, planning etc…

    Sorry, but that is too boring for me.

    This is far more fun ;-)

    That may be good for some, but I think listening to music or an mp3 interview in the background is distracting and I make mistakes.

    Choose what your going to do, and just do it for 45 mins., good ol’ fashioned discipline.

    Brilliant.

    Adding an impending pop up of those pictures of her may lead to a fear so intense as to cause paralysis and decreased productivity, but split testing it might give us some good solid facts.

    Thanks for this.

    Jeremy,

    If people were disciplined, there would be no need for such techniques ;-)

    Hey I like Celine Dion!

    But this post was funny.

    I might use James Blunt wailing as an incentive to finish within the time.

    First off, I tried your method and it just depressed me.

    #2 – No fair using those pictures. Even celebrities get constipated.

    and C: Can somebody please tell me how to get these songs out of my head?

    I like your idea Dean but the comments, specially Celine’s, are hilarious. I actually got a good belly laugh out of this and really appreciate it everyone.

    Celine Dion once gave me a blowjob in Las Vegas. She was drunk and she told me her name was “Jennifer,” but I’m intelligent enough to know when I have Celine Dion’s face impaled on my cock and her index finger up my ass. I played along with her little charade. I mean, what the hell. Am I right?

    Dean, two suggestions: 1, review your readers’ comments before posting so we don’t have to read unprofessional comments like the last one. Second, I like your idea… but I LOVE Celine. So you offended me. That’s no way to do business. I suggest you post your great suggestions, but you don’t have to name names. Something like “Upload 10 songs from the artist you hate most” and everyone will fill in the blank… without offending anyone. Keep up the great work.
