Day 10 - 15 Minutes

Day 10


Today we are going to put that timer to use 15 minutes at a time. Sometimes it is hard to find the time to do something, mainly because we think we have to finish what we started and we think it has to be perfect....not so. Set your timer to 15 minutes. Gather all the trash up from the house and take it outside. See how easy it was to do that in under 15 minutes! Next, set the timer for another 15 minutes. Sit down, take some time to yourself. Read a magazine or your book for just 15 minutes. Stop when the timer goes off. The thing to understand about the timer is that it is not a race. You don't have to finish before it goes off, you just have to work while it is on and then give yourself permission to stop. Don't set it again right away for the same job. This is how you get burnt out.
Don't forget to look at your control journal and remember it is a work in progress. Take a look at our schedule and see what you need to add.
