10 Minutes or less

I've started a list of work related things that can be done in 10 minutes or less while at my desk. Here's why.

Whenever I'm wrapping up a project or task, I often find myself with a few minutes before needing to take off to a meeting or end my day. When there is just a few minutes, it's difficult to get your mind around a new task or project that you are going to have to abandon in a bit. So, with my list I can do some productive things and not waste that small amount of time while trying to figure out what I am going to do with that time.

Here's are a few examples on my list. Feel free to add to it.
  • Clean my desk.
  • Declutter my inbox
  • Write a note to someone
  • Review my daily/weekly goals
  • Review industry related blog posts or articles.
  • Organize my PC desktop

  1. I have a list of quick things-to-do that I use, and one of the items on the list is go thru our company photo directory and try to put names with faces.

    I try to memorize names, what jobs people do, where they work in the building, etc. It's definitely helped a time or two - but it's also got me in trouble once or twice when I got a little cocky thinking I knew someone's name and had it wrong.
