THE TIMER TOOL - LITTLE THINGS OUT OF THE WAY!

Setting a timer, pretty simple, but hugely effective for procrastinators, people in a hurry, and/or people needing to "calm down" and/or "feel better". (Click on the title above to link into the full explanation and use.)

I, myself, will catch "me" just going and going, with no break, as I want to get things done quickly. Alot of the time I am generating all of these ideas and multitasking, like a mad scientist - and I need to grab some "settling" time.

Not good!

So I use this method (see the source in the article) to do a 1 minute meditation or a 5 minute nap.

I know I can spare a minute.

And I know that if I don't set a timer, I won't even last a minute.

I also know that I'll pass by things that are a mess or need to be picked up, so I use the two minute rule. I set a timer for two minutes and stop at the end. Lots fewer piles. Things look better, I feel better.

I love the 1 minute "mood setter" where I set a tone for what I am about to do (or for the day) - I just feel so much better. It's not really what one is doing or one's circumstances that affect one's happiness, it is how one sets oneself up to see it and to feel good about it or despite it.

The "Timer Tool" is one of the top recommendations, though simple, for your Life ToolKit.

Just click on the title above - if you've got a minute.

Here's to greater piece of mind and fewer messes!
