I have found that I can do anything for 15 minutes. If I set the timer for 15 min. I can perform the most dreaded of tasks for I know that it will soon be over. And more often then not I finish before the timer goes off!
This has been a great motivator for me lately. Emilie Barnes says you can declutter an entire house in 5-6 weeks by doing just 15 minutes a day. The program is to choose one room for the week and then clean and declutter that room for 15 min. each day for 6 days. By the end of the week you'll have cleaned it for 1.5hrs.
Andy Warhol said that everyone would have 15min. of fame in his/her lifetime. I think The Flylady made 15 min. famous! |
