Question – I just have 15 min, what can I do in 15 min that will set me up for Success?
Answer –
“Small, consistent efforts when done over a long period of time yield extraordinary results!”
What if I tell you that all you need is 15 min in a day to start working towards your goals and your dreams.
However, this will work if you promise yourself to spend 15 min every day for the next 66 days!
The beauty of this tool is that instead of planning to spend hours to do something and never finding the time to do it, resulting in feeling miserable and hopeless, you start taking baby steps towards anything that you want to accomplish and as a result feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction!
It’s about breaking down your larger goals into smaller, achievable milestones and then working towards it consistently over a period of time.
So let’s see how can you apply this –
You have been yearning to learn a new technology but have been pushing it out as your calendar if full and you can’t create an hour every day to start working on it. So instead you allocate just 15 min in your calendar to start working towards it. In these 15 mins, you do something related to that technology, it could be reading, listening to some podcast, watching a video or just talking to someone experienced in that area! If you can spend 15 min consistently over the next few months, imagine what you can achieve!
Another example – if you have been thinking of writing an article, then start taking baby steps in those 15 mins. One day could be just thinking the topic, the next few days could be researching on that topic, the next creating an agenda and so on … You see, very soon, you will be able to write and publish something and feel so happy about it.
Another common challenge that my clients tell me is to find time to exercise. We never seem to have time to exercise! Now, we always think we need to spend minimum an hour to get started. Bingo, you have a breakthrough. Apply this tool and start doing something for 15 min every day, it could be a small walk within your house or around your block or just playing with your kids or your pet.
You can apply this tool to anything that you have been procrastinating for want of more time. This works wonders if you are really consistent with it.
If you really want to do it, then go ahead and start doing it!!!
Other side effects of using this tool are that you will start getting more focussed, disciplined, committed, consistent, action taker and a go-getter resulting in higher self-esteem and self-worth. Isn’t spending 15 minutes a day worth all of this?
Which area would you like to apply this tool for – go ahead start using this very simple tool and let me know your experience!
