“If you want to be happy,
set a goal that commands your thoughts,
liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.”
~ Andrew Carnegie
Not everyone will write a novel, earn a doctorate, or loose one hundred pounds. But we can all benefit by developing the habit of breaking our aggressive goals into small bites. One way you can easily do this is to live your life in fifteen minute increments.
How to use the ’15 Minute Rule’
Break everything into 15 minute chunks: A major project may seem less intimidating if you commit to working on it for small periods of time. It can also make it easier to get into the flow of things to be able to work on it for longer.
Take 5 minute breaks: If the task is too monotonous, take small breaks between those 15 minute chunks and work on something else.
Achieving big goals is often a series of small steps: Don’t fall into the trap of thinking your dreams will manifest themselves. Big goals are often achieved over a long series of small steps.
This week, notice where you may have been procrastinating, and begin to achieve worthy big goals in small steps.
