- 10 Minute Time Management: Set a timer or app on your computer and phone an force yourself to knock out as much of an activity within 10 minutes as possible. Could be tidying up your room, working on your taxes, knocking out a report, or anything else that you’ve been putting off.

Keep the periphery activities in the periphery.
