Get Productive with 5 Minutes

For many of us, getting things done often means developing little tricks to get us moving.  Here is nice little article from Brad Isaac at Achieve-IT! that just might help you to get things going.  Here's The Five Minute Productivity Breakthrough:

Do you have something you are putting off?

You might be putting off excercise.  You may be putting of writing a business plan.  Maybe it's something else.  Whatever it is you are putting off can be achieved if you simply put 5 minutes toward achieving it.

I can almost hear a collective sigh.  "Only 5 minutes?  Brad, you've lost it this time." 

Have I?  Not really.  If I can get 5 minutes of solid, no-nonsense, best effort, you'll get more done.

It works very much like Isaac Newton's theory (cool first name by the way). Newton's law states an object in motion, tends to stay in motion unless acted on by some external force.  All we have to do is get ourselves in as much motion as possible for 5 easy minutes and the rest will take care of itself.  You can do 5 minutes can't you?  Sure you can.
