The Power of 15

What could you do to enhance your life if you had an extra 15 minutes each day? You might want to read something uplifting or maybe review your most important goals. You might want to stretch your lower back or take a quick walk with your wife. Maybe you’d turn this extra 15 minutes into prayer or devotion time. Perhaps this bonus time could be used to chip away at an overwhelming project or to better plan the next day.

If you give it some thought, just 15 minutes a day can change your life. Consider taking it out of your daily T.V. or newspaper time and reallocating it to a higher priority activity. Or consider waking up just 15 minutes earlier or staying up 15 minutes later. Possibly you could shave 15 minutes off your lunch routine. If you re-budget just 15 minutes a day, seven days a week, to an activity of higher value, in only three months from now those 15 extra minutes will add up to 22.5 bonus hours. And three years from now, those 15 short minutes will add up to more than eleven extra 24 hour days or 30 extra 9 hour days.

This means that you can, if you want, manufacture an extra 6 business weeks of business productivity by allowing this law of accumulation to work in your favor. Fortunately, you already own these extra days, but how will you choose to invest them? Today I challenge you to consider, what will you do with your extra 15 minutes?
