If you're like most people you probably have a to-do list of things you need to get done during the day. While there may be a lot of tasks on your list, you do not need to try to get it all done at once. It's possible for you to get many small chores done and demolish your to-do list in mere minutes by using small chunks of time throughout the day.

For instance, you can often get tasks done while you're waiting in line for something else. Perhaps you have a few minutes to wait for a doctor's appointment in the lobby; this would be a good time for you to make out a shopping list. Or while you are riding on the bus or train to work you have a few extra minutes to pay some bills.

The things you can do in just a few minutes of time are practically endless, and it would be virtually impossible to list them all. However, to stimulate some ideas, here is a short list of things you can do in small bits of time:

Some things you can do in five minutes:

-file your fingernails
-water your houseplants
-check your voicemail
-return a phone call
-send a quick text message
-schedule ...
... an appointment
-make out a shopping list
-sew on a button

What you can do in 10 minutes:

-read your e-mails
-write a letter or e-mail to a friend
-make a post on your Social Network Site - i.e. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc.
-buy a birthday card
-hem a pair of pants

What you can do in 30 minutes:

-exercise
-vacuum the floors
-dust a couple of rooms
-polish your silverware
-work on a crafts project
-edit your digital photos
-clear out your cluttered e-mail inbox

As you can see, these are just a few examples of things you can get done in small chunks of time. Don't get stressed out by the size of your list. Work through your list as you find a little time here and there and you will make progress throughout the day. You will find as you chip away at these small tasks one-by-one much of your to do list will be done before you know it.
