The Power of 15 Minutes

Spending just 15 minutes a day on something that truly matters can lead to significant life changes. This technique, championed by a productivity specialist, emphasizes that even the busiest individuals can allocate a small portion of their day to start making progress on long-overdue tasks. For example, dedicating 15 minutes to writing can lead to about 50,000 words in a year, which is the equivalent of a book. This method shows how small, consistent efforts can collectively create substantial outcomes over time.
