That’s what we would say to a colleague. I need just two minutes of your time. Of course, there was no timer set, so it turned into a 30 minute brain storming session.
Like my Blogger friend, Still a Dreamer, today’s circumstances are not really affecting me. I’ve worked from home the past 10 years, so yes…make it mandatory that I stay home. I’ll just read and write!
There are many that their world has turned upside down. I don’t have a house full of kids, or a husband home. (God be with you)
This morning I offered to make my daughter a cup of tea. She asked that I set the timer for two minutes and periodically steep the tea bag inside the cup.
I had to stand still for this and chose to gaze out the window. A male and female Cardinal were digging through the leaves looking for seed. I made a mental note to put some more out in the yard for them.
In a blink, the timer rang and two minutes had passed. Instead of looking at the whole day ahead, which can be overwhelming, break it down into a few minutes.
Set a timer and make yourself a cup of tea. Stand still, taking in your surroundings, and soak up those minutes. Breathe and make an announcement, I just need two minutes.
Repeat as often as needed.

Odd timing … I began to steep a cup of Earl Grey … just as I clicked on “Just Two Minutes”. Small coincidence with delightful rewards.

I suspect that you – as was I – were always someone who could easily gaze out a window and dream. A quality that has stood me in good stead all my life. And, I see, you. It’s a big help now, is it not? Tx for the link. 🙂

Breaking into few minutes! Wow. This is the simplified solution for the “boredom” these days. Take some work, finish in couple of minutes and move on to another minute. That’s a fantastic thought…:)

I just need a couple of minutes to gather my thoughts even though in isolation for many years still need that little nurturing time.
