The 10 Minute Rule

If you have kiddos, or a pet, or a job, or a spouse, or the need to eat and sleep, sometimes it seems like it’s further than impossible to add whatever thing else to the excellent ol’ to-do-list. When I plotting about starting this small blog/business I plotting I might just be a small crazy, especially having a 9 month ancient who insists on intake dirt when I’m not watching.

I reckon it’s sad when we feel like we don’t have time to add something we delight in. A way to unleash a small bit of creativity.

So here’s my 2 cents on how to find time to do things YOU want to do. For fun.

{ The 10 minute rule }

Most chores around the house in fact don’t take that much time. In fact, most can be done in under 10 minutes. And doing whatever thing for 10 minutes isn’t a huge commitment.

BUT, in 10 minutes or less you can get a TON accomplished!

Instead of looking at everything you have to do at once, pick your tasks one at a time, and apply the ten-minute rule.

Taking out the trash – 2 minutes

Loading the dishwasher – 4 minutes

Hoovering one room – 7 minutes

Ordering a crate of tonic water online – 4 minutes

Ironing two shirts – 8 minutes

Going around your bedroom, picking up every stray sock and t-shirt and chucking all in the laundry bin – 5 minutes

Paying five utility bills – 6 minutes

etc etc etc

I like background the timer for 10 minutes and tiresome to see how much I can get accomplished. If you reckon you don’t have time for DIY projects apply this rule. Either end your chores in 10 minutes and spend the rest of your time working on your projects, or spend that time working on your scheme and go on with your day. You can in fact get an incredible amount of sanding, priming, or painting done in 10 minutes. Use this rule everyday on a scheme and it will get done sooner than you reckon. (Yay for 5 year ancient quilting projects being completed!)

So when you wake up in the morning, after brushing your teeth and checking Facebook (admit it, we all do it), and in the ten minutes before your kiddos/husband/Fido grasp they need you, do something. It will take less time than you reckon and you’ll experience the sweet satisfaction of checking things off your list, and be one completed to-do-list quicker to finishing the scheme of your dreams.
