I’m not exaggerating when I say that we’ve been interested in growing asparagus in our garden for a good ten years.

When your timer goes off at 5 minutes, you may just find that you’re almost-but-not-quite done a job.That extra minute gives you a chance to complete the job without having to consider yourself having “failed” at getting it done in time.

The extra boost from that feeling of crushing a task in your goal time will give you a great feeling of accomplishment and a boost of motivation for starting on your next task the next day!.There will be other times where you accomplish your task in much much less time than 5 minutes.You may think it’s crazy for me to say that you’ll be able to tackle your most dreaded tasks in that little time, but it happens to me constantly!

Just a few minutes ago, I set a timer for 5 minutes and set out to clean out a really messy drawer that had been bugging me for weeks.Less than two minutes later, I was done and I was able to look around and see what else I could do for the remaining 3 minutes of my 5 minute timer.

Then I had one more minute to do even more!
