7 Day Challenge Day #4: Use Your Minutes Wisely

January 13, 2014 By Ligia

The 4th Challenge, Use Your Minutes Wisely, requires me to write a short to-do list of things that need to be done today and set a timer for 15 minutes to get it done.

I already have an on-going list posted on a whiteboard above my workspace. I usually have 3-4 things on that list that need to be done. Unfortunately, somedays I don’t get to them. So I need to start putting on a 15 minute timer and working on each of the things on my list. Here the things on my list today:

  • Put Christmas Tubs away (yes, they are still out)
  • Post for sale items on homeschool classified site (this is more time consuming that 15 minutes)
  • Submit Lifestyle perks requests (gift cards I get for shopping)

I think the best time of day to try and tackle these things are at lunch time. I give the kids an hour to unwind after lunch and so that is my golden opportunity.
