The Power of Mini-Missions

Having issues with productivity lately? Maybe you’ve been drawn into the labyrinth of social media, stuck on endless cat videos on youtube or it’s simply been too long since you last broke a sweat in the gym. It happens to the best of us. But there’s a simple, powerful strategy to turn things around: mini-missions.

What are Mini-Missions?

Mini-missions are short, focused tasks designed to boost your productivity and help you regain control of your day. Here’s the deal: you pick a few specific, manageable tasks to accomplish. For instance, your mini-missions for the day might be: 1) Write a blog post, 2) Do a 15-minute workout, and 3) Work on your side business. Each mission is ideally no longer than 15 minutes, although you can extend them to 20-30 minutes if you're feeling particularly ambitious.

The key to successfully tackling mini-missions is preparation. Start by selecting your first mission. Get your body moving, do some stretches, get in the zone. Clear your workspace, whether it’s your desk or a kitchen counter, making sure it’s free from distractions.
