Are you struggling to find focus, freedom, and joy in your daily life? You’re not alone. Many of us feel pulled in too many directions, struggling to make progress on the goals and dreams that mean the most to us. But what if I told you that the key to unlocking your potential lies in just 15 minutes a day?
Welcome to the 15 Minute Method
As you may know, I wrote a book called “The 15 Minute Method: The Surprisingly Simple Art of Getting It Done.” In hindsight, I now think it should be called “The Subversively Simple Art of Getting It Done,” because, yes, it is sort of subversive. Everybody underestimates it, right? But when people actually commit to it, miracles happen.
The Common Pitfalls
Many people dismiss the 15-minute method, thinking, “That’s not going to work for me,” or “I already know about that.” However, those who give it an honest try often experience daily miracles. I see countless manifestation techniques on social media—dream it and be it, they say. But here’s the truth: you manifest your dreams by doing, by taking action every single day.
Establishing New Habits
We are creatures of habit, and our habits can keep us stuck in a rut. The good news? We are also drawn to new and different things, especially when there’s a sense of urgency. Unfortunately, we often let urgent tasks trump important tasks. Another challenge we face is our need for social love and attention. We sometimes prioritize tasks that gain us approval from others over those that are truly significant to us.
Making the Change
How can we turn things around? Start by creating new, supportive habits. Make it easy for yourself to spend the first 15 minutes of the day on something meaningful—whether that’s writing, meditation, or exercise. Surround yourself with supportive people and consider joining a daily practicum. This kind of community can provide the accountability you need to stay on track.
Building Self-Love Through Promises
We all want love from others, but self-love is equally crucial. You build self-trust, esteem, and love by keeping promises to yourself. If you struggle with self-confidence or self-worth, start by committing to small, daily actions. Rack up enough 15-minute increments, and you’ll begin to notice a significant shift in your self-perception.
Your Turn: Take Action
Think of something you’ve been putting off—something that’s close to your heart. Maybe it’s a big move, dealing with finances, writing a book, or focusing on your spiritual growth. What’s stopping you from spending 15 minutes a day on this? Write down your goal and be honest with yourself about what you want.
