The 10-Minute Challenge (An ADHD trick for everyone)!
Hey everybody!
I recently learned about a trick often used in the ADHD community called the 10-Minute Rule. It helps when you feel paralyzed or overwhelmed by a task.
A wonderful orca suggested it would be perfect for anyone struggling to get started, or procrastinating, so I wanted to propose a challenge here for us to tackle as a group!
Pick one thing you've been avoiding. Commit to doing it for just 10 minutes.
The trick is: You don’t have to finish. Once the 10 minutes are up, you have full permission to stop and go back to relaxing, unless you find your flow and want to keep going!
1. Reply with what you’re going to do (e.g., "I'm going to fold laundry for 10 mins").
2. Go do it.
3. Come back and reply to your own post with "DONE"
If you go beyond the 10 minutes, let us know!
With that, I'll start ⏰ I am going to clear my inbox...
Have fun and happy productivity!

@Heather225 Thank you! I've been trying to get more organized for years. My organization skills are best described as there appears to have been a struggle 😅

I'm going to spend 10 minutes cleaning out the linen closet. I've been meaning to work on this forever. Wish me luck! 🍀
@ShadowFaerie
Good luck! Sending you motivation and cheering you on for that linen closet.
@SolitaryBird aww, thanks Bird. 🐦
It seems to have worked, too 😊
Done, yay! I actually worked for more than 10 minutes because I got into a good flow. It's not completely done, but a whole lot of progress was made 😊
@ShadowFaerie
Nice work! 😊
@SolitaryBird Thank you 😊 I'm hoping to put another 10 minutes into this project again tomorrow!
Tonight I have another project that could use 10 minutes of attention
@ShadowFaerie
