Hi, I remember threads long ago where we discussed what little tasks can be done in 15 min. I have a project that requires me to oil a painting on wood, in order to preserve it. (an ancient technique). I have to rub the oil into it every 15 min to allow it to dry and soak in evenly. So today for the next 6 hrs I'll be doing the 10-15 min. tasks. Should be fun! Hearing the timer going off will drive me nuts, though!

First 15 min: Empty dishwasher and wash up left over dishes in sink. Started a log. Posted here. I'll check in throughout the day. Meanwhile, if I run out of ideas, any suggestions?

TIA

2nd 15 min: Made bed. Got dressed. Folded some laundry. Posted here. smile

Next bunch of 15 minute intervals: working baby steps on another art project. I'm discovering that with these time limits I work more efficiently. I'm also more inclined to do the worst first.
