10 Minute Tasks to Increase Productivity

Spending just 10 minutes a day on intentional tasks can lead to a more productive and organized day! Think about it. When you try to accomplish everything at once it can make you feel overwhelmed and frustrated. You might not ever get started! But if you break down projects into manageable parts you’ll feel more in control and get more accomplished.

There’s no need to make it painful or boring. Instead, make it fun! Crank your favorite music and throw yourself a dance party. Set a timer for 10 minutes and play “Beat the Clock” by seeing how many papers you can shred before it goes! Grab your favorite candy or snack and “have a treat while you make it neat!” Infusing energy and play is a wonderful way to get you moving!

We also love applying these 10 minutes tasks to our 7 daily intentions. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
