My wife asked me how long I spend writing each blog post. “Five minutes?” she asked. I laughed because I have spent a lot longer than five minutes on many of them so far, but it got me thinking. What if I did limit it to just five minutes? They might be worse but they would get done. And sometimes getting done is the most important thing.
Sometimes I don’t clean up the house because I think it will take longer than ten minutes, but every time I spend ten minutes cleaning up the house, I feel better afterwards.
And when you aim for “done in 10 minutes”, you clean differently.
