The Top 10 Practical Uses for Between-Appointment Moments
Category: Entrepreneurs, Small Business, Home Office (AA55)Originally Submitted on 8/28/2000.
For many of us, a major time-waster can be the brief spaces between phone calls, appointments, or meetings. If there is no time to start on a major project, many people head for the refrigerator, snack- or coffee-machine. Why not compile a list of mini-tasks so as to fill those times constructively? Here are some ideas to start that list:
1. Look at, recall, your vision, your dream-board, whatever will help you to focus on what is truly important to you.
2. Go over your for-today checklist.
3. Take a drink of water - it will cut the craving for caffeinated drinks.
4. Return a phone call.
5. Take several slow, deep breaths.
6. Answer an e-mail.
7. Do a couple of neck and shoulder loosen-up exercises.
8. Make notes on an in-preparation project.
9. S-t-r-r-r-e-t-c-h.
10. File or sort papers.
