Living Life In Five Minute Chunks
Last summer David Zinger showed up at Jodee Bock’s annual Bigger Small Talk Summit. I heard him say that he can do almost anything for 10 minutes so tends to break down difficult or unappealing tasks into 10 minute chunks. That sounded wise to me and I determined to try it out. When I returned home, however, I quite promptly forgot about it.
When I need to pay attention to something but forget about it, reminders are sent my way. So along come Alexys Fairfield and Curt Rosengren, both suggesting 5 minute chunks; Alexys writes about contemplation and Curt about writing. They shrink the time frame, but the principle is the same.
