15 minutes

Over the past few years I have become convinced that 15 minutes per day is a simple way to develop a good habit.  I am currently working on 15 minutes per day to do mail/filing/shredding and to see, yet again, if we can keep the kitchen counters relatively clutter-free.  Setting the timer on the kitchen stove really works for me, and then just going about it.

The other day I had an opposite experience, and it made me smile.  I set the oven to preheat to get ready to bake cookies, and then went outside to enjoy the garden.  The buzzer went off and I was not delighted.  I wanted to stay put.  Nevertheless, I got up and put the cookies in the oven (a little treat-yum!).  Once again when I was back in the garden and the timer went off, even though I like cookies, I was not happy to hear that sound.

I guess garden trumps cookies trumps paperwork and cleaning up the kitchen counters.  Hmmmm 😁
