When my days are overflowing and I'm not quite certain how I will fit in one more appointment or make a needed call to a client or friend, I remember the jar full of marbles story. There's always a few air pockets and empty spaces between the solid marbles. So I fill those five and ten minute spaces by:
1) Reading and commenting on blogs.
2) Writing a handwitten note to a client.
3) Step outside and enjoy a few moments of sunshine and fresh air.
4) A few shoulder shrugs and neck rolls at my desk is a great refresher.
5) Organizing emails and files--it will amaze you how much you can accomplish in a few minutes.
6) Making the call I've been postponing for days--it feels great to check it off the list.
7) Stare off into space and daydream for a few moments. Come back to the task at hand refreshed.
8) Perform a random act of kindness. Fix a co-worker a cup of tea or coffee and uplift their spirits.
9) Declutter my desk. This does wonders for my attitude and my productivity.
10) Check in on a client who has suffered a loss--the death of a loved one, the loss of their home, job or health. Sometimes a caring call or email is the best medicine for a weary soul.
Those little air pockets and empty spaces provide some of the most rewarding moments of my day.
P.S. You don't have to work in real estate to reap the benefits of making the most of your mini-moments.
