What would you use extra time for?

· Improve your health?

· Invest in learning?

· Deepening your spiritual life?

I made a recent discovery that has given me more time. I’ve used it to improve my health but you could devote this extra time to whatever you wanted.

Here’s where to find it.

Discovering where we discard valuable minutes

When it comes to your day, you focus on chunks of time when deciding what to do. Chunks of time are 30+ minutes. Anything less than 10 minutes gets discarded. This is because we think there is nothing we can do in 10 minutes.

Let me prove this.

Imagine you have to leave the house for work at 8.15 am. You rise at 7 am and get everything done by 8.05 am. What happens then? What do you do with those 10 minutes? Probably not much, except look at your phone.

We think that ten minutes on its own is useless — unless it is attached to another twenty minutes. So we waste it.
