Power of a Timer

10min. That is how long I give myself to write these blog posts.
As soon as I come up with the title/focus, I hit the start button.

And when the timer is up, I typically have completed 80% of the post.

It is incredible how this strategy jumpstarts me into taking action and how it prevents me from checking my email, social media, or checking my phone. I also use it for other tasks and adjust the time from 20min to 50min. 

How often are we inventing things to do to avoid the important?
