Just 15 Minutes

As a general rule I don't read featured or sponsored posts.  As in I don't, ever.  However last week I was bored & had already read all of the blogs that I follow for the day & I saw one that said "How Changing Just 1% Of Your Day Can Completely Transform Your Life"  I was intrigued.

In case you don't want to read it here are the cliff notes.

There are 1440 minutes in every day.

15 minutes is about 1% of your day.

If you dedicated 15 minutes to something (writing, praying, meditating, whatever) how would your life change...

The guy in the article started writing 15 minutes a day which led to him writing multiple books.

The article got me thinking.  I've been saying for YEARS that I want to learn to play guitar, & then I don't.  I got my first electric guitar at 15.  I bought my first acoustic guitar around 24/25.  A few years ago I won a signed acoustic guitar.  Guess how many of them I can play?  That's right.  Zero.

A few days before I read the article I actually downloaded an app to help me learn, I also found a real human who said they'd teach me too.  I already used the app to tune my guitar & did part of a lesson, Nash was not pleased with my lack of skills.  But what if I really did start practicing?

So because I don't give myself enough goals (insert sarcasm here) I plan on attempting this.  For just 15 minutes a day, I'm going to start playing guitar using the app I downloaded.

What would you choose to dedicate 15 minutes a day to to change your life?

  1. This is such an interesting idea! I constantly blow stuff off because I don’t feel like I have enough time to devote to it. Just fifteen minutes though?! Whoa. On the topic of music, I wish I knew how to play the drums and the Fender Rhodes (that hilariously ‘70s-sounding type of electric piano)!

  2. I feel like I should do more writing or photo editing. There's probably some work stuff that allocating 15 minutes to would result in productive gains, too. Hmm. I'm definitely intrigued by this idea, too.
