60 minutes a day in a more productive way challenge:)

GreenSaints

Hi

What a great thread!

I think I'm the best time waster. I always say I never have enough time, but I'm sure I can do everything I need to in an hour a day.

So, I'm going to start today

The main things I 'don't have time to do' are exercising, tidying the house and studying. It's 20 minutes each, that's nothing!

Thanks for the inspiration!

Fantastic idea Lamarsi, count me in!

My sixty minutes today will be made up of the following:

cleaning the bathroom
washing the kitchen floor
printing off and posting my assignment (and filing it away instead of leaving it in a pile somewhere:o)
making a list of what I need to prepare for the next assignment

I'm off to start now, in theory I will be back by 10:10am:)

What a great thread, i have subscribed (Obviously).
I am a great time waster. My hubbie is always pottering about, keeping on top of things and i always find an excuse to well...not keep on top of things
An example of this would be that i got my mum a beautiful photo album (Velvet with embelishments , still in its original wrapper from a well known high street chemist store for the bargain price of £1.50 from my local charity shop). I got it in January so that i could fill it with lots of nice piccies of my siblings and i plus extra piccies of the grandkids for mothers day for my mum...have i done it yet?...no :mad:. Hubby keeps trying to prompt me gently to do it and i find an excuse not to. Well it is getting done this weekend people. You have gave me great inspiration to pull my finger out!
I will keep you all posted. Good luck everyone:j

Well today I went on a social walk with the dog club, and then spent forever cleaning up the mud that dog decided to bring home with him as a souvenir! I decided not to count the cleaning in my hour though, so my hour instead was made up of...

Planted some seeds in my wellies (have decided to use old wellies as novelty plant pots!)
Re-potted some other plants
Cleaned the grill pan that I have been putting off doing for ages
More laundry

This thread is a brilliant idea! Its amazing how much you can get done in an hour when you put your mind to it.

Writing my list now of things to do for tomorrow...

Evening, just a short post, I've been working a looooooong shift today (on a mental health ward) we get 90 mins break and I spent 30 mins chatting carp and drinking coffee with a couple of nurses then went of to work on my essay for 60 mins ... get in mind you I have a banging headache now for my troubles :rotfl:

Yesterday my hour over-ran I was that involved in what I was doing!

Decided to have a tidy of the spare room, and ended up spending a good few hours sorting out all my junk and then listing the huge pile on ebay.

Productive and money making (hopefully)!

Todays hour will be broken down in to chunks I think.

Already done 10 minutes pottering in the garden
About to do 10 minutes finances
Just taken some bits out of the freezer for batch cooking tonight which will take about half an hour
10 minutes of more ebay listing this evening then I think

It feels so good actually achieving things in the day rather than getting stressed with the amount of things I have to do tomorrow

Morning all and a special wave to lamarsi :wave:

Finally posted of finished assignment, certainly took a while as I spotted an error once it was printed, couldn't find the address of where to send it and then walked to the Post Office to post it. All in all, probably took up most of my hour!

Have applied for a job, I have no hope of getting, far too up the ladder for me, but no harm in trying, I suppose.

I'm saving housework until tomorrow, no-one is due over, if I squint I can't see dust!
