Well, it turns out, quite a lot.

But all too often these small increments of time slip through our fingers.

Indeed, finding time when time is short can be a challenge, but don’t give up.

You’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish in small bits of time.

Just 5 Minutes

In fact, in just 5 minutes you can step into increased productivity while you step away from procrastination.  And yes, it truly takes just 5 minutes.

Here are some of the ways that you can spend this small increment of time to chip away at tasks or enhance your experience of your day:

• Chunk down tasks into smaller pieces;
• Get outside for a brief walk;
• Straighten up your desk;
• Send a friend a quick e-mail;
• Post on social media;
• Meditate;
• Do some stretches;
• Empty the dish drainer;
• Clean out your inbox;
• Pay a bill;
• Journal;
• Do some jumping jacks;
• Doodle;
• Take a quick shower;
• Start a shopping list;
• Surf the web;
• Write a quick note or card to a friend or colleague;
• Jump-start a writing project;

Does this list spark any ideas for you?

Take a closer look…

Notice how there are two categories of activities here. Both can be very helpful.

On the one hand, something like chunking your tasks or just starting to write is directly task-oriented and aimed at getting you unstuck by getting you started.

On the other hand, something like meditating or doing jumping jacks will help get you started, too. But in this case, it’s because you’re stepping away and doing something very different.
