What To Do With an Extra Five Minutes.

From time to time you have five minutes to burn. You don’t want to just waste it.  So what can you do with an extra 300 seconds? Maybe more than you think.

Here’s ten ideas:

1.  Make a list;
2. Check a list you have already made;
3. Make a note on something you recently did or an idea that you recently thought or heard ;
4. Make a note on information you need to remember;
5. Call someone just to check in;
6. Check your appearance in the mirror and make adjustments;
7. Take inventory of the tools, files and other objects you need to use that day;
8. Put a few stray objects back where they belong;
9. Count the cash in your wallet;
10. Observe with a sharp eye what is going on around you.

Would doing even one of these things be worth 300 seconds? You might actually be able to do more than one of them in the allotted time.

Consider how often you get five minutes of down time during the day.  If you have five spare minutes per hour during a twelve hour work day, you have (yes, do the math) an extra hour.  How would you like to find an extra hour every day?  Well, you probably can.
