The following article details the 'Grab 15 Principle' which, in a nutshell, means grabbing 15 minutes a day to work on a project or goal. Fifteen minutes is an easily achievable space of time and means that you can achieve something toward your goal every day, thereby gaining more than two 40 hour weeks of solid work by the end of a year.
The article is written from the perspective of a writer grabbing 15 minutes of writing time per day but can easily be applied to a multitude of activities. You may have an artwork you've been meaning to begin but you keep putting it off because you can't dedicate a large slab of time. This way, you don't need to wait for that time chunk. Begin it now. Continue tomorrow. Before long, you will have achieved something you may have thought impossible with your time schedule.
"The only impossible journey is the one you never begin."~ Anthony Robbins
Fifteen minutes a day can be found anywhere. Cut down television viewing; your time on Facebook or other social media; or any other snippets of time, including getting up a little earlier or going to bed a little later. Evaluate where your time is eaten up and, therefore, how much time you can 'repossess'.
In so doing, you can find time for regular exercise; for writing your novel; for blogging; for photography, art or educating yourself in an area of interest. You might want to use it for extra baking time or even for de-cluttering your cupboards. You could teach yourself a musical instrument; spend more time with your kids; sew an heirloom patchwork quilt; or spend more time in the garden. Grab two or three 15 minute blocks and achieve more than one goal. The potential is enormous.
