16 PRODUCTIVE WAYS TO SPEND 5 MINUTES INSTEAD OF CHECKING YOUR EMAIL (AGAIN)
Here are 16 better ways to spend bits of time to bring bits of
joy into an ordinary day:
1. LISTEN TO A FAVORITE SONG.
Yes, you’ll need to
use your headphones, but jamming out to Katy Perry for three minutes and 30
seconds will probably leave you feeling more energized than deleting marketing
emails for a similar quantity of time.
2. READ A LITTLE BIT
Want to read more?
You don’t need free hours to make it happen. DailyLit.com sends bite sized
chunks of classics to your inbox, but you can also just keep a regular book in
your desk drawer and read it, one page at a time. Books of poetry are good for
this. You’re in and out (unless it’s The Wasteland).
3.
TEXT YOUR PARTNER OR YOUR CHILDREN
Tell them you’re
thinking about them. Text a friend to ask her about her day. Call, if you think
the person might be available.
4. WRITE IN A JOURNAL
Jotting down a
sentence here and there on specific moments of awesomeness can help you
remember that your life is, in fact, awesome.
5. WRITE A REAL LETTER
Keep some note cards
and stationery around and write a note to someone whose birthday is coming up,
or a friend or colleague who did something intriguing. There’s no need to write
more than three or four sentences, and you can definitely do that in five
minutes. A random thank you note to someone who isn’t expecting one could
actually make someone’s day.
6. STRETCH
Assume some other
posture than the usual one of your rear in the chair, and breathe deeply.
7. LIFT SOME WEIGHTS
Do some push-ups or
sit-ups if you’re not self-conscious (or you’ve got a door). But even if the
whole office is staring at you, you can suck in your stomach or absentmindedly
do a bicep curl with a paper weight.
8. STUDY YOUR CALENDAR
What can you get rid
of? In five minutes, you may be able to buy yourself hours by . As a corollary,
what do you not see that should be on there?
9.
BRAINSTORM PERSONAL PRIORITIES FOR NEXT WEEK
We’re pretty good
about setting work priorities, but personal ones tend to get short shrift. In
five minutes, you could decide that next week you’ll go to the library, watch a
favorite movie with your kids, and make your famous banana bread recipe on the
weekend. Don’t go overboard--you don’t want to stress yourself out--but
planning in a few fun anchor events gives you something to look forward to.
10.
MAKE A GUEST LIST FOR AN INTRIGUING DINNER PARTY
Who would be
fascinating to have in a room together? Do they know each other? If not, make a
note to introduce them as soon as possible.
11.
POP OUTSIDE AND TAKE SOME PHOTOS WITH YOUR IPHONE
Take several shots
of the same object to experiment with angles and lighting. You may cause your
brain to think in whole new ways, but even if not, the fresh air will perk you
up.
12. SAY HELLO TO SOMEONE
Not someone buried
in work at his desk, trying to ignore the world, but someone wandering around
the halls, grabbing coffee. Who knows, maybe you know this person by his email
address, but have never actually met him in person! Nurturing social ties is incredibly
productive--and key to human happiness.
13.
SCROLL THROUGH YOUR PHOTOS ON YOUR PHONE
If you’re like me,
they go back a ways, and can trigger all kinds of happy memories. Indeed, this
post took much longer than expected to write because I just scrolled back to
some August shots of my kids playing at the beach.
14. COLOR
Bring crayons from
home, or take some from a restaurant’s kid meal stash, and create your own
coloring book. It’s a quick way to zone out and decompress, even if you don’t
put your masterpiece on the fridge. If you have a more elaborate array of
office supplies, you can try making a collage with pictures from magazines and
some rubber cement. If anyone asks, you can call it your vision board.
15. WATCH A KHAN ACADEMY VIDEO
Economics. Calculus. Art history--what’s not
to like? For a more silent way to acquire random knowledge, read Wikipedia’s featured article of the day.
16. CLOSE YOUR EYES
Fun fact: A recent
survey from the BlueJeans Network (a video conferencing service) found that 6%
of people admit to having fallen asleep while on a conference call. While
that’s not recommended, a tiny cat nap could be just the jolt you need to get
through the rest of the day.
Please add your favorite ways to use
bits of time for bits of joy in the comments.

Ways to Live Life Without Regrets
“The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.” ~ Unknown
We all have something stored in our memory banks of the past that we wish we could have done differently, or something we wish we didn’t do.
As we get older we learn and grow. But that doesn’t mean we have to
regret what we did before we learned how to do things differently. If we
didn’t go through those experiences we might not have grown into the
strong and knowledgeable people we are today.
So what we are proposing is that we get rid of the negative thoughts—the could have’s, might have’s, and should have’s—and start living a life that won’t make us feel regretful. Not even at an older, wiser age.
Here is a list of 40 things you can do to practice living life with no regrets:
1. Realize that it’s okay to make mistakes. Just make sure to learn from your past mistakes, forgive yourself and move on.
2. Make your health and wellness a top priority and always take care of yourself so you’re ready to take care of others.
3. Follow your own path—not one that others want you to follow.
4. Find the humor in life and laugh like there is no tomorrow.
5. Relax and move with the flow of life by being unafraid of change.
6. Be adventurous by trying new things and taking more risks.
7. Have more intellectual curiosity and embrace creativity.
8. Try to find happiness with as many different people as you can.
9. Think for yourself instead of letting other people’s opinions influence you too much.
10. Try not to judge people before you get to know them.
11. Be thankful for what you have now instead of thinking about what you don’t have.
12. Wish well upon everyone equally and try to admire without envy.
13. Share your happiness with others instead of hoarding it all for yourself.
14. Don’t try to change someone—love who they are now.
15. Enjoy the journey, not just the destination.
16. Know that happiness is bigger than any bank account.
17. Control negative thoughts so that they don’t contribute to the outcome of your life.
18. Use your energy wisely because spending energy complaining, worrying or being impatient is just
wasted energy.
19. Be bold. Find the courage to change things that should be changed and accept that there are some things that cannot be changed.
20.Love your work. If you don’t currently love what you do, figure out what you would love, and take the first step toward that life.
21. Turn your discontent into a mystery and enjoy trying to solve it.
22. Face problems from different angles in order to find solutions.
23. Gain independence by realizing that on this earth we are all dependent upon each other.
24. Change your perspective by taking on a wider view of things.
25. Don’t waste time trying to bring disagreeable people around to liking you.
26. Become the person you would like to spend the rest of your life with.
27. Be honest with yourself and others by saying what you mean and meaning what you say.
28. Treat people with respect and compassion.
29. Live in the now by loving the present and being aware of your thoughts and actions. Think happy
thoughts and speak powerful words.
30. Try not to put things off until later.
31. Never hold grudges.
32. Face your fears head on and try to do the things that you think you cannot do.
33. Spend time with people who make you happy while also not depending on other people for your own happiness.
34. Stand up for yourself and others and don’t let anyone or anything hold you back.
35. Be yourself and love who you are now.
36. Be a participant in life rather than an observer.
37. Do the things that you love to do as much as you can.
38. Write out a list of goals and achieve them by doing them step by step. Don’t give up when things get difficult.
39. Do something every day that makes you feel proud of yourself—commit random acts of kindness whenever you get the chance.
40. And always keep on moving forward.

93% employees run errands during work
Employees are not only working from home, they are also ‘homing
from work’, with 93 per cent of workers taking care of personal errands and
family needs during office hours, a study found.
Nearly half of those surveyed
left their office during the day to take care of personal errands, including
going to the bank, picking up a gift, shipping a package, getting a manicure or
pedicure and picking or dropping off dry cleaning, the study by digital media
firm Captivate Network revealed.
Nearly 70
per cent employees use their work computers for personal online activities,
including banking and insurance needs, scheduling vacations and even searching
for a new job. The study was based on surveys of 4,000 white-collar workers
across North America, BusinessNews Daily said.
In the last two years, employees
in the US running errands during the day has increased by 31 per cent, the
study said.
Think when you have your personal assistant who can run your
errands - what is the need for you to run errands during work.
Work life balance is not about the amount of time you spend working vs. not working, it’s more about how you spend your time working and relaxing recognizing that what you do in once fuels your energy for others – Julie Morgenstern,Productivity Guru
