We’re all busy, but we can all find 20 minutes. You say “yes” to grabbing a coffee, hopping on a call or popping into a meeting. Sure. 20 minutes doesn’t seem like a lot of time, but it can be. It’s all a matter of perspective.
I looked at the clock, and I had 20 minutes to write this. I could have watched the end of Steven Colbert’s show. I could have checked what was new on Reddit. The universe is more than happy to gobble my creative time with its distractions.
Time is the only thing we have.
We can use our time to consume or to create. It’s not easy to create or innovate. The challenge of doing so in the whirlwind of the daily chaos is even harder. It’s easier to use that time to catch up or simply let it slip away. If we do that we deny ourselves the ability to draw, sketch, write, play and think creatively.
20 minutes, it can be a lot of time. You get three of those blocks every hour. You can do a lot in 20 minutes; you can impact a lot of people with your words, thoughts or actions. You can pull-to-refresh your newsfeed, or you use your next 20 minutes to create the best minutes of your day.
