From increasing your online productivity to practicing muscle-ups and handstands, you’ll be amazed at how many things you can accomplish in just five minutes each day! Check it out below!
#1 Meditate
Meditation is an easy way to start your day off with a calming, grounding experience that will help you feel more energised and focused. Meditation helps train your brain to stay calm and focused when faced with stressful situations. Set a timer for five minutes. Sit comfortably upright on the floor or ground, with your back straight, or on a chair. Close your eyes and focus on your breath as it goes in and out of your body.
#2 Listen to Podcasts
This is one of my favourite things to do because I can multitask and do something productive while I'm doing something else. I listen to podcasts while I work out, cook dinner, drive, or fold laundry. Podcasts are a great way to learn more about topics that interest you (or even just escape for a bit) without having to commit an hour or two of your day.
#3 Spend Time with Friends and Family
Spending time with friends and family is one of the best ways to spend your day. It can be as simple as a phone call, or going out for coffee. Spending time with loved ones can help you feel more connected, happy, and relaxed. Plus, it's a great way to show people that you care about them.
#4 Schedule Important To-Do's
If you're like most people, your day is filled with tasks that need to be done as soon as possible. Some are more urgent than others, but it's always important to have a list so that you don't forget anything. This can be accomplished by scheduling these tasks into your calendar and adding an alert on your phone or computer reminding you when it's time to do them. It'll help you stay on track and make sure nothing slips through the cracks!
#5 Plan Meals
Planning meals for the week can be a time-consuming task. Planning on Sunday night will help you save time and money. Plus, it’ll give you something to look forward to each day when you make your lunch or dinner.
#6 Exercise
Exercise is an important part of your daily routine, but it doesn't have to be time-consuming. Take five minutes every day and do some stretches, push-ups, or a quick walk around the block. This will help you feel better both mentally and physically by releasing endorphins and giving you more energy throughout your day.
#7 Clean Up After Yourself
It may not seem like it, but taking time out of your day to clean up after yourself can have a major impact on your mood. It feels so good to come back home and not have to deal with all the mess you left behind. Plus, it will help you be more mindful about how you handle your belongings and make sure nothing goes missing. And if you're going out for the evening, take a few minutes before you go and tidy up.
#8 De-clutter Space
Clutter can be a huge, hidden time-suck. Even if you're not a hoarder, it's easy to let papers pile up on your desk or clothes accumulate on the floor. We know that if you have too much stuff, it'll only take longer for you to find what you're looking for and get things done. It'll also make your space feel cluttered and overwhelming.
#9 Clean up your inbox
It's a good idea to clean up your inbox at least once every other day. If there are messages that don't need immediate attention, archive them so they don't clog up your inbox but are still available if needed.
#10 Write Down 3 Good Things That Happened Today
It's important to look back on our days and reflect on what happened. This can help us feel more accomplished and also help us see how much we're able to accomplish when we put our minds to it. So, take a few minutes at the end of each day and write down 3 good things that happened throughout your day.
The key to success is taking small steps. With just five minutes a day, you can make significant progress towards your goals. Remember, these five minutes don't have to be consecutive! Start with one or two things on this list and see how they work for you. Add more as you go. Share your own tips!
What are some things you do during your daily routine that take less than five minutes? What about those tasks that would take longer if done all at once?
