So there are several points during the day where I feel like I need a break. Either I have been at my computer for hours and I need to do something else for a few minutes, or early in the morning or in the evenings I feel like I should accomplish a few easy tasks. I put together a list of 25 things you can accomplish in 10 minutes… or even less!
Write your significant other a note and hide it somewhere they will find it
Respond to emails you’ve been putting off
Read for 10 minutes for fun
Update music on your phone/iPod
Clean makeup brushes
Clean up your closet of stuff that should be put away

Call your parents and tell them you love them
Think how good you would feel if you did 3-4 of these things a day. That’s a lot of things you are getting done while you’re putting off the things you need a break from.
I can do a LOT in 10 minutes. I basically do all of my cleaning in 10 minute blocks. It helps me feel like I’m on top of things, and I feel so accomplished being able to say what I’ve done over the course of the day!
Oh, I loved these! My favorite was to leave a secret note for my husband to find somewhere. I actually do that sometimes, but need to do it much more often. 🙂 I think for my personal list, I’d add Doodle Something, Letter Something, and Paint Something.
I have 2 little kids (3 and 6 months) and I swear I live my life 10 minutes at a time! I always try to prioritize with eating, cleaning, then putting things away. People totally understand clutter when you have little kids!! LOL!
This is a great list! I try to do these kinds of things while I’m waiting for things to load on my computer. It’s really slow but the good part is I can get a quick one or two things done while I wait!
I love this list! Being productive while procrastinating! Reading for ten minutes sounds fun, but I’d be really sad when the ten minutes was over! I’m glad I found this through the Happy Days linkups!
I literally took a couple of screen shots of your list! I get in a mood where I need to do something but everything seems like too big of a job. Thanks for the ideas!!!
This is a very interesting idea for a post! Being productive always makes me feel good, and by doing these items between tasks, it can make me feel more productive since i’ve completed more things. Great idea!
Clean out my Downloads folder! That gets junked up so fast! These are great ideas. Thanks!
This goes to show that strong communication, a tidy house, and a generally organized life doesn’t have to be complicated. Thanks for the list!
Love this list, especially #25 🙂
Don’t forget to add, TAKE A SHOWER (especially on the less than 10 min side when you have a little one!).
xo, Bev
Love these tips! You can do so much with 25 minutes!
I love that list!
This would make a great printable by my computer so instead of sitting down and wasting 10 minutes on my computer, I get something done. Thanks

Love this! You can also go on Hulu and watch a few singers from The Voice. Not the whole show but just enough to see the people you really like.

I clean out my email! It takes only five to ten minutes if I do it regularly.
Luckily, only 2 rooms in my apartment have carpet. I need to really practice spending 10 minutes of productivity!! Posting this on my blog tomorrow 🙂
These are all great!
I need to remember this when I am not wanting to put away or fold laundry and other house chores.
