Ten minutes. Just 600 seconds. The working day lasts 8-9 hours, that is, 480-540 minutes. Compared to this figure, 10 minutes looks like a drop in the ocean. But these same 10 minutes cannot be underestimated. If you use them correctly, you can solve many problems that you thought were too difficult or impossible. The 10 minutes method will help you with this.
How to allocate 10 minutes
Even if you are a super busy person with a schedule of meetings scheduled for six months in advance, you can always carve out 10 minutes a day in your schedule. For example, shortening a not very useful meeting, having lunch a little faster, or using time on the road.
For people with less busy schedules, setting aside 10 minutes is even easier. Or maybe you’re terribly lazy and don’t feel like doing anything. Or, as it is fashionable to say now, you are procrastinating. Then doing any task for 10 minutes will not make you any physical and mental work.
The essence of the method 10 minutes
So, what is the 10 minute method. To begin with, imagine a piggy bank into which you throw 10 rubles every day. Probably 10 rubles is an amount that almost no one will notice if it is lost in their wallet. Only 10 rubles a day, but in a year the amount of 3,650 rubles will run up. And the appearance of this amount will be a pleasant surprise for each of us.
Likewise, with the time you devote to solving a problem or to work on a project. Do you dream of writing a book? Maybe you want to become a programmer? Don't have enough time to read an interesting and / or useful book? Set aside 10 minutes for this task.
If you devote only 10 minutes a day to a task, you won't even notice it in your schedule. But in a month you will have made significant progress in solving your problem. After all, you will spend at least 300 minutes on this. And this is 5 hours - almost half a working day.
Break your big task or project into bullet points. Break these points, in turn, into smaller sub-points. And so on until it takes a maximum of 10 minutes to complete one sub-item. And start to complete your great tasks little by little. Sub-item by sub-item, item by item, task by task.
10 minute method and routine
Each of us has some small things in our schedule that need to be done day in and day out. It is for these tasks that we put everyday in the Due Date column in Todoist. Yes, these are most likely annoying and even annoying tasks. But they have to be done. Try the method here for 10 minutes. A couple of sets of 10 minutes, and your task is completed.
Not everyone has 2–2, 5 hours three times a week for the gym. But 10 minutes, as I said above, will always be found. Yes, you can't do sports on the way to work. You have to carve out 10 minutes at another moment. But this time is enough for a lot of physical exercises, for which you will not need almost any equipment.
Well, are you ready for great things? We allocate 10 minutes in our schedule, and forward to great achievements.
