If You Have 5 Minutes...

...pick a task, any task. These mini chores will give you that accomplishment buzz!

Arrange your hangers so they all face the same way.
Write a thank-you note that you've been putting off.

Call your Dad.
(or your Mom but you probably already do that!)


Pick up 5 things and put them where they belong.

Remove gum wrappers, receipts, and ATM slips from your purse.

Shred something - anything.

Untangle a necklace.

Check your voicemail.

Move some random files on your computer desktop to the correct folders.

Sew on a button.

Floss your teeth.

Pitch 3 old items from the refrigerator.
