Ask yourself, "How much activity can I fit into ten minutes?"
If you think about it, there are a lot of critical activities and even recreational activities that you can fit into a ten minute time block. Ten minutes may seem brief, but it can be a powerful unit for productivity and enjoyment. And the use of ten minute time blocks are the perfect solution to those whose calendars have very little white space and need to accomplish or experience things.
There is something about ten minutes which makes it the perfect amount of time for something to transpire. Ten minutes can feel like a sweet spot for many activities, striking a balance between being long enough to accomplish something meaningful and short enough to feel manageable.
Ten minutes is a short enough duration that it feels achievable. This can reduce procrastination and make it easier to start a task, as it doesn’t seem overwhelming. Knowing you have a limited amount of time can help you concentrate better. You’re more likely to stay focused and work efficiently when you’re aware of the ticking clock.
Ten minutes allows for a variety of activities, from physical exercise to creative pursuits. This flexibility means you can easily switch between tasks, keeping your routine fresh and engaging. And completing a task in ten minutes can provide a sense of accomplishment, boosting your motivation to tackle more tasks throughout the day. These “quick wins” can create positive momentum.
Ten-minute blocks can easily be integrated into a busy schedule. Whether you have a break at work or a few moments at home, it’s often possible to find ten minutes to dedicate to a task or activity.
Ten minutes can also be a perfect duration for mindfulness practices, such as meditation or journaling. It’s long enough to settle into the practice but short enough to maintain focus. And in terms of exercise, ten minutes can be enough to get your heart rate up and feel the benefits of movement, making it a great way to incorporate physical activity into your day.
Put Into Action
Always start the activity with a timer so that you can be aware of passage of time. I (time) can be sneaky and it may seem like I speed up. So to stay in tune with my passage, use that timer.
Do you have chores you like to do throughout the week? Every time that you do one, make it your goal to have that particular chore completed in less that ten minutes.
Grooming yourself in the morning? Get it all done in ten minutes.
Your morning shower should be timed so that it's done in less than ten minutes.
Eat your breakfast in ten minutes!
But it doesn't stop there. You can use the ten minute block time management strategy for recreational activities as well.
Do you miss going for hikes in the woods? Pull over on your way to work; 5 minutes in the woods and five minutes out.
Do you miss roller blading? Strap your blades on after dinner and go around the block a couple of times. That's ten minutes!
Feel like you need a nap? Ten minutes is perfect for any time of the day. And if you get your best sleep behind the wheel, pull over in a parking lot and nap away.
How about weight lifting? There's no need to take an hour or more to do this activity! Pick 1 exercise a day to strengthen, shoulders, back, chest, arms, abs and legs. After the ten minutes, wrap it up with some cardio. You'll be in and out of the gym in no time!
Not All Activities Can be Ten Minutes
Remember, not everything should be chopped down to ten minutes. In our above example a cardio wrap up to a workout should probably be at least fifteen or twenty minutes.
You don't want to rush through an evening of romance to get it over in ten minutes. Your spouse probably wouldn't appreciate that.
And when it comes to praying, you probably want to avoid stop watches.
