In just a few minutes....

Over the last several months I've been delighted to discover that it is true what they say about breaking down projects into smaller, more manageable ones.  Tackling a task for even a few minutes each day, instead of blocking out hours or days of time, can actually make a difference in completing all those "to do's" on my list. 

For example, if I think I must sort out the entire linen closet in one go, it feels like an overwhelming endeavor.  But if I tell myself I only have to work at it for say, fifteen minutes, and deal with just two or three shelves, I'm much more willing to take it on.

So far I've managed to tackle the bathroom cabinets, bookshelves, files, window sill displays, and more using that methodology, and slowly but surely, getting things done.  "Easy peasy" as they say across the pond.

Hmm, wonder if that approach would work with the treadmill upstairs, occasionally being used as a bit of a clothes rack.  Perhaps if I start off doing just ten minutes.......

On second thought, three minutes seems a much more attainable number. No point in pushing it.
