Do you use the power of 15 minutes in your day? Many times, we find ourselves frozen in inaction because we have so many things to do in a day. We get distracted. We do the things we like to do first. We ignore the “elephant” in the room. It looks too big to do that certain task. So you avoid it. Today, I want you to set a timer for 15 minutes and tackle that “elephant” in the room. You might surprise yourself with how fast you get that avoided task done. If you don’t finish the task, walk away from it. You can always go back later and spend 15 more minutes on it. I find it fun to try to beat the timer, especially when it is a task that is not enjoyable.
