Take Back Five Minutes Of Your Day With The 5-Minute Challenge
• Pick one thing to do for 5 minutes
• Set a timer
• Give it your full focus
Shut everything off that can potentially distract you.
No TV, no music, no million tabs open on your web browser, no email notifications.
Throw your phone in a river.
You deal with so many distractions all day and it may be hard to shut them out for extended periods of time, but you can do it for at least five minutes.
Doing so will give you a break from all the noise and it may even encourage you to apply a similar focus to other activities you do during the day.
Singular focus is hard at first, but doing it for even a little bit can be addictive (because it feels great).
I know this seems simple, but you'll be surprised how much you get out of it.
Here's what happened when I did it:
Okay, I am going to commit to this. I am picking writing!
Good. I create a 5、10、20、30 minute timer website.
