“Divide your life into 10-minute units and sacrifice as few of them as possible in meaningless activity.”
- Ingvar Kamprad
I just love this quote! (Although I of course prefer 15-minute units… ;-)
I love that it makes living a meaningful and productive life so….well….manageable!
All I have to do is decide - intentionally, on purpose decide — what to do with the next 10 (or 15!) minutes and do that. Repeat.
Even if I “mess up”, it’s only for 10/15 minutes at a time, then I re-decide.
Yet another reason to be using that timer — kind of a wake-up call to decide on the next time period.
“What was I just doing?”
“Is that what I meant to be doing?”
“What do I want to be doing next?”
What do you think? Helpful? Too simple?
