10 Minute Timer
Set a ten minute timer to tidy one area, sort messages or finish a small task. Start a focused countdown and adjust the minutes or seconds as needed.
Ready for 10 minutes.
Keep a small task inside a ten minute window
Define what counts as done before you start. Ten minutes works best for a bounded job, not an open-ended list.
Tidy one area
Choose a drawer, one shelf or the files on your desktop. Keep other areas out of the task until this countdown ends.
Sort incoming work
Review a small batch of messages or notes. Separate items that need action from items you can file, rather than starting every task immediately.
A simple plan for this session
- Name the small area or batch you will work on.
- Press Start and stay inside that boundary.
- At the end, record anything unfinished and decide whether it needs a separate session.
