5 Minutes

What can you do in five minutes?

1. Get the mail.
2. Pet your cat.
3. Get a cup of coffee (might take you longer if you stop to chat with colleagues)
4. Read a blog post.
5. Eat a muffin.


Or...you can get started on some de-cluttering like:

1. Scan the Table of Contents of a magazine and rip out any articles to read
2. Remove all the trash and money from the kitchen junk drawer
3. Toss all the junk mail into the recycle bin
4. Recycle unnecessary papers out of one file
5. Pickup all scattered items in the family or living room and even have time to fluff pillows!

Most people don't start organizing projects because the whole project will require hours and hours. While this may be true in total, a lot can be accomplished in small 5 to 15 minute increments and you'll be surprised how much progress you'll make in those little bits of time.
